Chasing Stars

Jenna returns to her childhood summer home after the death of her mother, with plans to sell the long-abandoned house. Grieving and unsure of her next steps after years spent caring for her mom, Jenna finds herself overwhelmed by memories and a house that’s fallen into disrepair.

Enter Miles, a charming, slightly jaded real estate agent and local known for his flirtatious ways. Recently divorced and carrying his own emotional baggage, Miles is instantly intrigued when he meets Jenna. Offering to help with repairs on the property, he becomes more than just a handyman. He becomes a steady presence Jenna didn’t know she needed.

As they spend time fixing up the house, Jenna and Miles slide into a flirtatious friends-to-maybe-something-more dynamic. With forced proximity thanks to the fixer-upper, late-night beach conversations, and a lovable dog named Pete, their connection deepens. Familiar faces from Cape May round out the cast, adding warmth and richness to the story.

Chasing Stars is a tender story of healing old wounds and finding love when you least expect it. Don’t miss Jenna and Miles’ journey as they navigate grief, growth, and the possibility of a beautiful future together.

Miles Corbin lives his life on his own terms. A successful real estate agent by day, and a surfer Casanova by night, Miles lives every day like it’s his last. Scarred by his recent divorce, Miles prefers to keep love at arm’s length. He’d much rather chase thrills in the ocean over risking love again. That is until Jenna Rossi walks into his life.

When Jenna Rossi inherits her family’s neglected beach house in Cape May, New Jersey, she plans to sell it quickly and move on with her life. But charming property manager Miles Corbin has other ideas. As he helps her navigate necessary repairs, he also becomes her personal tour guide through the tranquil beach town’s romantic charm, determined to give her even more reasons to stay.

As their new friendship blossoms, deeper feelings begin to take root. Miles hasn’t opened his heart again since his divorce, but something about Jenna makes him want to take a chance. Jenna swears she doesn’t need a white knight, nor does she want one, but Miles’ thoughtfulness and guidance has her dropping her guard and falling hard.

But just when they’re settling into the idea of forever, a secret from the past threatens to tear them apart for good—one that connects them in ways neither could have imagined.

Set against the backdrop of Cape May’s close-knit community, Chasing Stars is a heartfelt romance about finding the courage to love again after loss, and discovering that home isn’t always a place—sometimes it’s a person.
