The World Between Us by Jeff Raines

The World Between Us
What if the love of your life appeared when you least expected it—and on the other side of the world?
Michael was rebuilding his life after heartbreak, failure, and years of feeling like everything he had worked for was slipping away. Maya was carrying wounds of her own, trapped between heartbreak, family expectations, and a life she never imagined leaving behind.
Then, on a Caribbean cruise, their eyes met.
He spoke English. She spoke Spanish. They lived thousands of miles apart. Their families came from different cultures, and almost everything about their lives said they should never work. Yet somehow, they understood each other in a way words could not explain.
What began with a chance encounter became a whirlwind of romance, travel, separation, sacrifice, family conflict, immigration battles, and impossible choices. From Mexico City to California, from stolen moments to a breathtaking wedding in Cancun, their journey would test whether love could truly overcome distance, language, culture, and circumstance.
The World Between Us: Where The Tide Brough Us is more than a love story. It is a powerful true story about second chances, courage, vulnerability, family, and the kind of love that refuses to give up.
Sometimes, the greatest love stories begin when two people from completely different worlds collide.
