Between Us
After a painful divorce, Vivian Hart, 43, finally begins to feel like herself again when she meets Nico, a charming and grounded 28-year-old carpenter who renovates her new home-and ends up helping her rebuild her heart, too.
When her daughter, Sienna, 21, comes home for the summer, she's thrown by her mother's younger boyfriend. At first, Sienna sees Nico as just another passing phase-until late-night conversations on the porch, shared creative passions, and subtle sparks begin to blur lines. Neither of them seeks out more... but something simmers.
Nico loves Vivian. He's loyal, kind, and committed.
But he's drawn to Sienna in a way that confuses and frightens him.
What follows is a slow emotional entanglement-not physical betrayal, but forbidden longing, crossed boundaries, and quiet heartbreak. Secrets build. Trust breaks. And one unexpected pregnancy changes everything.
Nico must protect the life he's building with Vivian-or follow the deep connection he never meant to have with her daughter.
Themes Forbidden longing vs physical betrayal (emotional infidelity)Mother-daughter jealousy, generational patterns, unspoken resentmentsGrief and renewal after divorceUnplanned pregnancy as a plot pivotThe danger of unspoken desires

Feels soulless. Not that that’s a surprise
considering the author boasts about writing all their books purely with AI. Yeah girl, we can tell.
Also, don’t think this author has ever received a single review that wasn’t her (on her main too) in an attempt to boast her ratings. Not that it’ll do much. With that kinda writing, she will stay the only person to be invested in this slob.
