Soul Mates

Everyone believes soul mates exist. Most people eventually stop searching. Camille Laurent spent years convincing herself emotional recognition was fantasy.

Living in Paris after a failed marriage, she quietly documents loneliness, longing, and invisible connection through private Notes on her iPhone — never imagining someone across the Atlantic may be doing the exact same thing. In Charleston, architect Ethan Hale has spent half his life feeling emotionally unfinished without understanding why.

Then one spring afternoon inside the Bennett Hotel, two strangers meet beneath a painting titled Harbor Between Us and immediately experience something neither can explain: Recognition.

As their private Notes reveal years of impossible emotional echoes, near misses, crossed flights, and parallel loneliness, Camy and Ethan begin realizing their lives may have been unknowingly moving toward each other for decades. But when love arrives late in life, timing becomes terrifying.

Set between the haunting beauty of Charleston and the rain-soaked intimacy of Paris, Soul Mates: The Distance Between Us is an unforgettable literary romance about recognition, missed chances, emotional destiny, and finally finding the person who makes ordinary life feel less lonely.
