He’s the grumpy EMT next door. She’s the lonely artist listening through the wall. When their late-night desires collide, it’s not just heat that rises—it’s everything they’ve been trying to hide.
After a messy breakup, Harper is starting over in a small town, working freelance and learning how to live alone. The one unexpected comfort? The late-night sounds from her neighbor’s apartment—specifically, the ones that involve moaning, swearing, and very little self-control.
Nick doesn’t do neighbors. Or relationships. Or feelings. But something about the woman next door is getting under his skin—and into his head. When their tension spills into real life, one impulsive knock on the wall turns into a connection neither of them can ignore.
What begins as an after-dark fascination quickly becomes more than either of them bargained for. But when Harper’s past resurfaces in the most dangerous way, Nick will have to decide: does he protect his heart, or the woman who’s quietly claimed it?
