Mia never planned to fall for a voice on the other end of a phone call. When a wrong number turned into late-night conversations, she found herself trusting Ethan with things she'd never told anyone — her fears, her dreams, the ache she carried since her parents' divorce. There was just one problem: he lived four thousand miles away, on a different continent, in a life she couldn't picture.For a year, they built something real out of texts, time-zone math, and stolen video calls at 3 a.m. But when Ethan's job offers him a transfer that could either close the distance forever — or end it completely — Mia has to decide if love built across an ocean can survive when it finally meets in person.Some connections aren't measured in miles.
