Halley is living a lie—and falling for someone she never should have met.

By day, she’s just a girl trying to survive an emotionally barren home. By night, she escapes to the quiet solitude of a lake beneath the stars, where she meets Reed, a brooding but kind stranger who offers her a sense of safety she’s never known.

Their connection is immediate, but everything changes when Halley discovers that Reed is her best friend’s new stepdad.

With their relationship forbidden and the consequences reaching far beyond themselves, Halley and Reed must navigate secrets, guilt, longing, and a love that refuses to disappear. As the years pass and the lines between right and wrong become harder to see, they must decide whether their connection is worth risking everything they hold dear.

Older is a haunting and emotional forbidden romance featuring a significant age gap, best friend’s dad, grumpy/sunshine, slow burn, found family, and healing from trauma.
