Falling for No
Spaces Between Us Book 1

She’s got the garden running like clockwork. He’s the volunteer who notices everything she doesn’t say.

Natalie coordinates a community garden where every bed is measured, every volunteer has a task, and nothing gets out of hand. Gardens don’t tolerate chaos. She doesn’t either.

James shows up one Saturday and changes the math.

He doesn’t crowd her. He doesn’t second-guess her. He just works alongside her—passing tools before she asks, catching her eye across a row, staying late while she locks up.

A hand brushes over a hose.
A laugh slips out over “indeterminate” tomatoes.
A coffee question hangs in the air after everyone else leaves.

When he finally asks her out—not as a volunteer, but as the man who sees through her systems—she doesn’t say yes.
Not quite.

Falling for No, is short enough to be read in a couple of hours. It's a clean, contemporary slow burn for readers who crave:
✓ Competence that sparks without fireworks
✓ That exquisite pull of being really seen
✓ A heroine wrestling control vs. connection
✓ Touch that feels earned, not inevitable

Perfect if you love emotional tension in ordinary places—gardens, workdays, house concerts—and characters brave enough to let something grow without forcing it.

Short. Sweet. Slow. And worth the wait.
