Kenzo Carter-Volsky is a rising pro hockey star with a career on the line. He’s spent years building defenses no one gets past—and he plans to keep it that way. As one of the only players in the league who’s half Black and Japanese and half Russian, he already stands out everywhere he goes. The last thing he needs is another reason for the world to watch him.

Bradley Walsh has everything—money, charm, and a last name that opens every door in Chicago. As the golden heir to the Walsh & Wilde empire, he’s used to getting what he wants…except when it comes to love.


But now temptation lives next door.

From the moment Bradley meets his new neighbor, he knows he’s in trouble. Kenzo is exactly the kind of man Bradley falls for: gorgeous, complicated, and impossible to ignore. And Bradley does what he always does—falls fast for the one he can’t have.

Kenzo has never let anyone close enough to break through his walls. He can’t afford distractions and he definitely can’t afford the beautiful, charismatic heir who keeps showing up on the other side of the terrace with a smile that feels like a challenge. But stolen glances turn into lingering conversations and temptation this close is harder to resist than either of them expected.

Because falling is easy.
Letting someone in is harder.
And some people are impossible to keep out.


For mature audiences 18+. A high heat MM romance about neighbors to lovers, forbidden romance, hurt/comfort, found family, and choosing love even when it feels like the most dangerous play of all. Interconnected standalone, dual POV.


Genre: Romance
