Second chance, accidental neighbors, enemies-to-lovers, friends with benefits, stand-alone contemporary romance.

Anna

My ex moved into my building.

It shouldn’t matter. I live at the office and swore off dating.

His unexpected proximity changes nothing. As the adult in the building, I offer my friendship—to put the past behind us.

But I forgot what a good friend he can be…and there’s plenty I never forgot.

The years somehow made him more handsome, because, of course, they did. Doesn’t matter if he’s in a suit or a t-shirt–although, I prefer him in tees, and he lives in suits.

Clothing choices are just one sign that time has changed things–Changed us. The college years were a different era. 

As a hot-shot lawyer, relationships aren’t on his radar. And for once, we agree on something.

Dating is a bad idea.

Jackson

I never forgot her. But I wanted to.

Back then, I thought because we hit it off in every way—and I mean every way — we’d have a future. 

After we imploded, I hoped to never see her again, but thanks to a mutual friend, no luck on that score. Hello, neighbor.

My easy-to-talk-to and easy-on-the-eyes neighbor. 

And then I went and got a half-cocked idea… or, one might call it a fully-cocked idea.

With the right parameters, we could have it all—friends with benefits. 

What happens when one of us wants to re-negotiate those parameters? When the lines blur, will the friendship survive?
