Your proposed situation is not plausible. Gravity extends forever into space. There is no distance beyond which stars do not feel each others' pull. If a planet can travel back and forth between the stars repeatedly, then the stars must be orbiting each other. There is no difference (except in strength) between the gravity of a star and that of a planet.
