The Space Between (Stardust Beach, #3)

She’s building rockets for NASA—

but can she build the life she truly wants?

At just twenty-seven, Jeanie Florence is blazing a trail few women have ever walked—as one of NASA’s brightest young engineers. While America races to put a man on the moon, Jeanie is quietly making history behind the scenes, her calculations propelling astronauts into space. But when it comes to love? She’s still stuck firmly on the launchpad.

Her heart belongs to Bill Booker—an older, married astronaut whose orbit she knows she has no business entering. But emotions don’t always follow logic, and Jeanie is starting to wonder if love and ambition can ever truly coexist.

As the pressure to “be everything” mounts—perfect daughter, loyal friend, brilliant scientist—Jeanie finds herself pulled between who the world expects her to be and the woman she’s desperate to become. And in a decade that’s redefining what women are allowed to want, she’ll have to is it enough to reach for the stars, or is she brave enough to demand the moon?

Smart, stirring, and full of heart, Stardust Book Three is a moving story of quiet strength, impossible choices, and the women behind the space race who dared to want more. Perfect for fans of Kate Quinn, Marie Benedict, and Hidden Figures.
