COMING SEPTEMBER, 2025
A married woman. The man she never stopped thinking about. One floor apart, and years too late.
Set in a sun-washed San Francisco summer of sleepless hours, late-night elevators, and too many chances they shouldn’t take, Where Stars Align is an intimate story of forbidden connection, soul-bonded desire, and the kind of love that asks:
Would you risk everything for the one person who feels like home?
MEET CHRISTINA
CHRISTINA MACH lives in Prague with her husband and writes about soulmate love—the kind that’s magnetic, messy, sometimes morally complicated, and capable of breaking you until you meet yourself.
Born in the ’90s, she daydreams about the past like it still belongs to her. A former musician, she once swore she’d never write in silence—Where Stars Align was written to “Constellations” by Jade LeMac on loop. It’s her first novel, and the beginning of many beautiful disasters. She believes the best stories live in the third kind of truth—the one you don’t even say out loud at 3am, three glasses in, to your best friend. That’s where her characters are born.
Outside her writing, her life is pretty grounded. She’s happily married, loves reading her soulmate Jung, remakes her favorite recipes in the healthy way, travels every chance she gets, and paints when words can’t reach deep enough.
She knows Ben and Emma aren’t real. And they’re far from perfect. But in many ways, they saved her. (But that’s a story for another time.)

If you've ever felt too much,
You're home.
You still think about him, don’t you? That’s okay. So do we.
Have you ever looked at someone and known—that’s the mistake I’d make all over again?
Emma Foster chose the right life. A stable marriage. A writing career. And the silence that comes from pretending she’s fine. But late at night, when the house is still and the voice in her chest won’t quiet, she remembers the one she left behind.
But when Ben Bellini—her almost, her once, the man she never really got over—moves into the apartment just one floor above, everything she thought she buried starts burning again.
The connection is instant. The temptation, dangerous.
And the pull between them? It was never really gone.
Set in a golden, 90s-tinted San Francisco summer, Where Stars Align is a soul-bruising, slow-burn romance about timing, longing, and the kind of love that doesn’t knock—it just walks in and ruins everything.
For anyone who still thinks about the one that got away. And wonders what would’ve happened… if you hadn’t let go.

Postscript
For when the story ends
but the feelings don't
I made a playlist for the ones who cry when the air
turns a little too crisp and nostalgic, romanticize elevators, and remember their most important moments in songs and perfumes.
And if that wasn’t enough… I write letters. For women like us. Honest ones. The kind you usually don’t let others read.
If you still want more...
