I never planned to end up in my billionaire neighbor’s fortress…
Or fall for the grump who built it to keep people like me out.
Emerson Montgomery is all sharp edges and locked doors.
Older. Richer. Completely off-limits.
The kind of man who watches the world from behind gates and doesn’t let anyone in.
But the morning danger lands on my doorstep, he pulls me, and my son, into his home like it’s instinct.
He says it’s for our safety.
But everything about him feels like a different kind of risk.
His house is all surveillance and secrets.
He’s cold, controlling and impossible to read.
Until my son makes him smile…
And he touches me like I’m the first warmth he’s felt in years.
I promised myself I wouldn’t get attached.
But I see the man he’s trying so hard not to be—
And the moment I fall for him is the moment I realize…
He might be the one holding the match to everything I can’t afford to lose.
But now I’m falling for the man who swore to protect us…
This is a FULLY standalone steamy contemporary romance. This is Emerson Montgomery & Callie Taylor’s romance—a grumpy x sunshine, age gap billionaire neighbors-to-lovers with a single mom, forced proximity, and a protective silver-fox who falls first. Step into the cameras-and-secrets vibe, found-family warmth, and high heat as one obsessed guardian proves he’ll keep her—and her heart—safe. Enjoy!
