Bad Boy Next Door

Returning home after 10 years I never expected to fall for the boy next door.

The sight of Cole, my brother’s best friend and my childhood crush, straddling his motorcycle stirs long-buried desires. His muscles flexing, his eyes penetrating, he awakens something primal within me.

I remember the troubled boy who spent more time with us than tiptoeing around his father. Now he’s the hot club owner who has women swooning and men taking notes. But will he ever see me as more than his best friend’s little sister?

As we bond over renovating my inherited house, sparks fly, igniting a passion neither of us can deny. And now I can’t stop wanting him. Little do I know he's been keeping a secret from me.

When unexpected news threatens to tear us apart, will Cole’s past scars prevent him from embracing our future? With love and uncertainty intertwining, can we build a foundation strong enough to withstand the surprises life throws our way?
