Eloise Hunter, a high-end wedding planner in Manhattan, has her life meticulously mapped—until her own wedding spirals into chaos when the best man turns out to be Graham Knox, the ex-boyfriend who once vanished without a goodbye. Her current fiancé, Carter Wells, offers everything steady and safe, but the sudden reappearance of her past shakes a truth she thought was buried: some heartaches never really leave.

As Eloise tries to navigate the emotional wreckage of a rehearsal weekend gone wrong, she confronts old letters, broken promises, and the weight of what "forever" really means. Graham, no longer the boy who left but a man who's learned from his silence, gives her something she never expected—answers. But with answers come harder questions.

When she walks away from the altar on her wedding day, it's not to run toward someone—it's to walk back into herself. What follows is a slow, honest rebuilding between two people who are no longer who they once were. Through setbacks, photo exhibits, long-distance choices, and quiet mornings in borrowed flannel, they learn that love isn't about dramatic declarations—it's about the soft courage to stay.

In the end, Graham doesn't promise forever.
He promises this: presence, truth, and the kind of love that evolves—one choice at a time.

Between the Ex and the New is a deeply human second-chance romance about trust, timing, and the quiet revolution of loving someone fully... after learning to love yourself first.
