The Same Stars

Laney thought the hardest part of her life was finally behind her. Then a gunshot at Charlie’s bar tears everything back open.

The past she fought to escape isn’t finished with her—and neither is the man who nearly destroyed her.

Koblar “King” King was supposed to stay in that past too. They grew up together as best friends and then went three decades without seeing each other. He never came back for her.

But when Laney’s life is threatened, he does.

As danger closes in and long-buried secrets rise to the surface, the connection between them refuses to stay buried. Because some love doesn’t fade—it waits.

And this time, it may cost them everything.

“More than a novel.”

A close look at the inner life of trauma and survival, The Same Stars explores how the past lingers long after the danger has passed. Through Laney’s journey, the story examines the quiet, often invisible ways people adapt, endure, and rebuild.

Set against the backdrop of a small town, the story pairs emotional realism with rising tension as it follows two people shaped by time, separation, and unfinished history. As past and present collide, it becomes a study in resilience, trust, and the complicated nature of second chances.

What Readers Are Saying

Here’s what readers are saying about The Same Stars.

★★★★★

“I instantly was pulled in and invested…I was definitely on the edge reading. I did not put it down…It is so good! It did not feel or read like your first book. I still randomly think about the <spoiler> scene…you know it’s good when it stays with you!”

B.L.

★★★★★

“What you have written is more than a story. I am deeply emotionally invested. I had to set it aside several times because I identify so strongly with your character that I feel her past trauma when she shares her memories….It’s good. Really, really good. It is more than a novel.”

T.F.

★★★★★

“I don’t read much romance, but I was impressed with how relatable all the characters were. It was almost nostalgic in a weird way even though it’s set in present time. “
