Willa Crane has always trusted bees more than people. Her hives make sense—steady, purposeful, alive with order. Humans? They sting for no reason. So when charming but infuriating nature writer Reed Hawthorne strolls onto her honey farm with a notebook and a grin, Willa’s first instinct is to chase him off her property with a smoker.

Reed wants to write a feature on her sustainable honey operation, but Willa’s not interested in becoming anyone’s headline. Especially not his. Yet the more time they spend together—bickering over bee behavior, trading barbs that sound suspiciously like flirting—the harder it becomes to keep their boundaries intact.

When Reed’s article draft calls her “unconventionally beautiful,” Willa ends their partnership on the spot. But the piece goes viral anyway, and both are forced to face what’s sweeter: pride or honesty. Now Reed must prove that he didn’t just fall for the story—he fell for the woman who wrote her life in honey and grit.

The Distance of Honey is a tender, body-positive enemies-to-lovers romance about creation, confidence, and the courage to love without apology. Filled with sharp banter, slow-burn tension, and emotional warmth, it’s a story where attraction hums like a hive—constant, wild, and impossible to ignore. For readers who believe love isn’t about changing yourself to fit, but finding someone who fits with the person you already are.
