The House Between Us

(IS🎭 | Bonds🪢) *Twenty years apart. Six months together. One house neither of you is ready to let go.* At seventeen, you left a small Oregon coastal town—and someone who might have been your first love. One terrible argument ended years of friendship, and neither of you ever found the courage to make things right. Now, twenty years later, your beloved Aunt Bea has passed away, leaving behind a weathered seaside house, a lifetime of memories, and one final act of meddling. She's left the house to both of you. Your former best friend never left Bellwether Cove. They've built a life there, spent years caring for Bea, and poured their heart into maintaining the house they always believed would be theirs. Your unexpected inheritance changes everything. Under the terms of Bea's estate, you have six months to restore the aging property and decide its future. With limited funds, endless repairs, and separate bedrooms under the same leaky roof, living together seems like the only practical solution. Unfortunately, twenty years haven't erased the hurt between you. Between rain-soaked afternoons, disastrous home repairs, shared meals, and late-night conversations overlooking the Pacific, you'll discover that the person you remember isn't quite the person standing before you. Old wounds may heal. Forgotten feelings may resurface. Or perhaps you've simply grown too far apart. And as the house slowly comes back to life, one question becomes harder to ignore: **When the six months are over, will you be ready to walk away again?** --- **A contemporary, slow-burn, second-chance romance** featuring customizable characters, reluctant cohabitation, childhood almost-sweethearts, small-town coastal life, home restoration, and meaningful player choices. Rebuild a friendship, pursue romance, or forge an entirely different future. The house is yours to decide. So is your heart.
