Six Feet From Falling

Ellie Nolan has spent fifteen years pretending Miles Barrett is ancient history.

He isn't.

Once, he was her best friend-the boy who knew every version of her before he became the one who hurt her most. Now he's back in Dallas, maddeningly attractive and still able to make her laugh like the years between them never happened.

Miles is a civil engineer who trusts plans, numbers, and anything that can be measured. Ellie is a landscape designer who has built a life around choosing her own direction. Neither of them is looking for complications. Unfortunately, every meeting pulls them closer, every joke lands differently, and every stolen bite from his plate feels more intimate than it should.

Miles knows an apology can't erase what happened when they were twelve. Ellie knows forgiveness doesn't automatically mean trust. But the more they reconnect, the harder it becomes to tell where old familiarity ends and something dangerously new begins.

Falling for him once was never the problem.

Letting herself believe he could catch her might be.

Six Feet From Falling is a steamy, fade-to-black second-chance romance about childhood best friends, buried feelings, sharp banter, hard-won trust, and two stubborn people learning that love is not the same thing as losing control.

Content warning: strong language, sensual situations and implied sexual intimacy, childhood bullying, body-image discussions, and an on-page anaphylactic allergic reaction with emergency medical treatment.
