Lines we Fail to Draw

Some people leave. Some people stay. And some linger in the space between—quiet, unfinished, unforgettable. Lia Everhart has spent months trying to rebuild a life that doesn't ache when she breathes. But when her career unexpectedly brings her face-to-face with Evan Hanzler—the man she once loved and quietly lost—she's forced to confront the feelings she buried but never erased. Once partners in both love and ambition, Lia and Evan now move through the same office with the careful tension of people who know too much about each other. Their interactions are polite, professional… and charged with everything unsaid. Old habits resurface. Old wounds stir. And the line between past and present thins until neither of them can pretend indifference. As long hours turn into quiet moments and silence turns into confession, Lia must decide whether the love she walked away from is the same love she still wants. Evan must face the truth he hid for too long—how deeply he hurt her, how fiercely he still cares, and how terrified he is of repeating their mistakes. Slow, intimate, and breathtakingly human, Lines We Fail to Draw is a tender second-chance romance about unfinished love, the courage to speak honestly, and the quiet hope that some connections are worth returning to… even when they scare us.
