Some things take ten years to say out loud.
Marcus and Valentina have worked side by side for a decade — brilliant, ambitious, and carefully pretending that what exists between them is nothing more than friendship. He is married, a devoted father of three, successful by every measure that matters. She is fiercely independent, divorced, and done apologizing for the woman she is. Both of them have been lying — not to each other, but to themselves.

Between the Lines is a story about desire, truth, and the quiet courage it takes to finally stop living in the almost.
