Everyone has a story is the theme that is the heart of THE
SPACE BETWEEN US. Funny, sexy, sad, traumatic,
shameful...each person's story is unique and worthy of
telling. At the heart of this erotic story is Tesla Martin,
a young woman open to love who is comfortable with her
herself and her sexuality. Tesla is a barista at Morningstar
Mocha where she meets Meredith, a charming and charismatic
woman who loves nothing more than to coax people into
telling their stories. As she listens to Tesla's story and
attraction seems to spark between them and Meredith invites
Tesla into bed with her and her husband, Charlie. Soon the
couple becomes a trio which has tremendous emotional and
personal consequences.
Megan Hart has written a poignant, complex, sensual novel
that honors the story of each character. Tesla is the main
character and we read her present story as she navigates a
relationship with Meredith and Charlie but also the story of
her past and that experienced that have influenced who she
is today: passionate, honest, loving, and just a little
lost. Meredith, the catalyst for all these stories, is
confused and hungry for something more though she's not sure
what. Charlie is a good man trying to make his wife happy
who grows increasingly found of Tesla. Their unconventional
love story made for a compelling read.
Tesla Martin is drifting pleasantly through life, slinging
lattes at Morningstar Mocha, enjoying the ebb and flow of
caffeine-starved customers, devoted to her cadre of
regulars. But none of the bottomless-cup crowd compares with
Meredith, a charismatic force of nature who can coax
intimate tales from even the shyest of Morningstar's clientele.
Caught in Meredith's sensual, irresistible orbit,
inexpressibly flattered by the siren's attention, Tesla
shares long-buried chapters of her life, holding nothing
back. Nothing Meredith proposes seems impossible—not even
Tesla sleeping with Meredith's husband, Charlie, while she
looks on. After all, it's all in fun, isn't it?
In a heartbeat, vulnerable Tesla is swept into a spectacular
love triangle. Together, gentle, grounded Charlie and
sparkling, maddening Meredith are everything Tesla has ever
needed, wanted, or dreamed of, even if no one else on earth
understands. They're three against the world.
But soon one of the vertices begins pulling away until only
two points remain—and the space between them gapes with
confusion, with grief and with possibility .
