Content Warnings: The Distance Between Us explores themes of love, loss, and healing. It also contains depictions of grief, alcohol addiction, emotional trauma, strained familial relationships, homophobia, anxiety, references to self-harm (not shown on page), and a violent plane crash.
Please note that chapter thirty-one includes a scene where the main character’s drink is spiked in a bar, a sexual assault follows, and is depicted on page (the drink spiking and the assault is not done by the central love interest).
While this is ultimately a story of healing and love, I decided to include these elements as part of the characters’ journeys, and some material may be difficult. Please prioritize your well-being while reading. If you haven’t seen James Cameron’s Titanic, please be aware this story contains spoilers. For readers aged 18+.

Cameron Hayes used to be ready for forever. But a year after a plane crash that took his fiancé’s life, the New York City-based flight attendant is still lost in the wreckage of his grief. Every memory is a ghost, and moving on feels impossible, until a chance encounter begins to shift everything...
Greggory Harwell appears to have it all. He’s the heir to a global real estate empire, and his life is defined by wealth, society, and expectation. But beneath the polished surface, Gregg is hiding a truth that could unravel everything, and longs for a life that’s his own...
When their worlds collide — literally — a fleeting connection quickly deepens into something undeniable. But love rarely comes easy… Cameron fears opening his heart again, while Gregg must decide if he’s ready to risk everything for the life and love he deserves.
Set on a global stage from New York to London, San Francisco to Scotland, the two men must confront their pasts and discover whether love can truly close the distance between them.
The Distance Between Us is an emotional contemporary romance about grief, healing, and the courage to choose love again.
