Product Description
*The deluxe limited edition comes with printed edges*
A forbidden, age-gap romance and instant USA Today bestseller from Jennifer Hartmann, author of Still Beating.
The emotionally devastating and wildly beloved TikTok sensation readers are calling "heart-wrenching, beautiful, and completely unforgettable."
Halley is living a lie...and falling for someone she never should have met.
By day, she's just a girl trying to survive an emotionally barren home. But by night, she escapes to the quiet solitude of a lake beneath the stars. That's where she meets Reed, a brooding, kind stranger who offers her the sort of safety she's never known.
There's an unspoken connection. A shared ache neither of them can name.
But when Halley's best friend introduces her new stepdad, everything shatters.
Because that stepdad is Reed.
With a love as equally forbidden as it is all-consuming, Halley and Reed are forced to navigate a storm of secrets, guilt, and longing. As years go by and lines blur, they must decide if love is worth the risk--especially when it could destroy the only family either of them has ever known.
A haunting and hopeful story of healing, desire, and a love that refuses to be ignored.
Tropes:
- Age-gap romance
- Best friend's dad
- Forbidden love

Readers have fallen hard for Older--will you?
"This is, in every way, my perfect read--flawed characters you can't help but root for, a love story that is as broken as it is beautiful, and a book that will stay with you long after you've read the final page." -- Goodreads
"Older had me feeling all the feels--swooning, holding my breath, sweating, aching, basking in the 90s nostalgia, and sighing in relief as the epilogue closed." -- Amazon
"And that, my friends, is how you write age gap romance!!!!" -- Goodreads
"This book ripped my heart out and then put all the pieces back together again." -- Amazon
Older is a standalone romance ending in an HEA. Prepare your heart--and bring tissues.
