When Stars Align

New town. New school. New chance at love.

Seventeen-year-old Lily Chen never expected to spend her senior year starting over in a sleepy Colorado mountain town. Trading San Diego beaches for pine trees and high school hallways full of strangers, Lily is determined to survive the year unnoticed—until she meets Jake Mitchell.

Jake is everything she didn’t see coming—an artist with warm brown eyes, a quiet confidence, and a heart as vast as the mountain skies. From shared class projects to spontaneous coffee dates, their connection is instant and undeniable. But just as Lily starts to believe she might belong in Pine Ridge, whispers from Jake’s past threaten the fragile new bond between them.

With the Harvest Festival approaching and emotions running high, Lily must decide if she’s ready to open her heart again—and if love can truly find its way when the stars align.

When Stars Align is a sweet, heartwarming young adult romance about finding your place, chasing new beginnings, and trusting the rhythm of your heart.
