Somewhere Between Korea and Seattle
When exhausted emergency physician Nessa Carter reluctantly agrees to a hiking trip through the mountains of South Korea, she's expecting little more than a much-needed vacation. Instead, a catastrophic landslide leaves her stranded in a remote ranger shelter with a handful of survivors-including Taryn Brooks, a witty travel photographer whose warmth and optimism shine even in the darkest moments.
Over three unforgettable days, an unexpected connection forms between them. Then rescue comes, life resumes, and they return to opposite sides of the world believing they'll never meet again.
Eight months later, fate reunites them in Seattle.
As chance encounters turn into a close friendship, Nessa and Taryn become an inseparable part of each other's lives. Yet fear, assumptions, and terrible timing keep them from seeing what everyone else seems to notice. Each believes the other has already found happiness with someone else, and neither is willing to risk destroying the friendship they've come to treasure.
Years of shared laughter, quiet moments, and missed opportunities slowly build toward a truth that has been waiting since a storm on a Korean mountainside.
Tender, heartfelt, and filled with gentle humor, Somewhere Between Korea and Seattle is a slow-burn Sapphic romance about healing, friendship, and the extraordinary ways ordinary moments can change a life forever. Sometimes love doesn't arrive with grand declarations-it grows quietly between conversations, shared adventures, and the courage to finally stop looking away and discover that home isn't always a place. Sometimes, it's a person.
