Dr. Anya Sharma lives her life by the light of distant galaxies, a brilliant astrophysicist who trusts in data, not destiny. When a cosmic event sends her to a remote observatory in the heart of a wild, dark-sky preserve, she’s paired with Cal Blackwood, a pragmatic park ranger who navigates by the tracks on the ground, not the patterns in the sky. As the vast, silent wilderness challenges Anya’s orderly world, Cal’s quiet wisdom teaches her to see the universe at her feet. Under a canopy of brilliant, untamed stars, the woman who studies the cosmos and the man who guards the earth discover that the most profound connection isn’t light-years away, but right in front of them, a love that reorients their entire universe.
