Florence Abernathy has known Frank Castle for years. He is her father's closest friend, the man who lives two houses away, drives her home when needed, calls her kid, and somehow turns concern into an argument every single time. At twenty-two, Florence wants one thing above all else: to be trusted to make her own choices. Frank, meanwhile, has spent most of his life believing that caring for someone means keeping danger as far away from them as possible. For years, their dynamic is simple. She challenges him. He tells her what to do. She tells him to go to hell. He makes sure she gets home anyway. Then, slowly, something changes. Florence begins noticing the man beneath Frank's silence, while Frank is forced to confront the fact that Bryan's daughter is no longer someone he can neatly place in the category of kid. They live only two houses apart. It should have been enough distance. It isn't.

Mara never planned on letting Frank Castle get close. He's stubborn, dangerous, infuriatingly persistent-and far too accustomed to solving every problem with force. Mara refuses to become another problem he can simply fix. So when Frank starts calling, she declines. When he texts, she ignores him. When he pushes, she pushes back harder. But Frank Castle has never been good at walking away. What begins as irritation slowly becomes something neither of them expected. Lingering looks last a little too long. Arguments carry an edge that feels dangerously close to desire. His protectiveness becomes personal. Her carefully built walls begin to crack. Frank knows how to fight wars, hunt monsters, and survive things that should have killed him. Mara is different. She can't be chased down, intimidated, or won over with persistence alone. If Frank wants her, he'll have to learn something far more difficult than fighting- how to wait for her to choose him. A gritty, emotional slow-burn romance about two stubborn people, impossible boundaries, buried feelings, and a man discovering that the one battle he desperately wants to win is the one he can't force.

Twenty-two-year-old Lennon "Leni" Hayes comes home from college expecting a quiet summer-not to find her dad's best friend, Frank Castle, living across the hall. At thirty-eight, Frank is arrogant, protective, ridiculously attractive, and completely off limits. They've always known how to get under each other's skin, but their usual arguments quickly turn into lingering stares, jealous moments, late-night encounters, and tension neither can ignore. Frank knows crossing the line with his best friend's daughter is a terrible idea. Leni just wants to see how far she can push him before he finally breaks.

Frank Castle doesn't do neighbors. He doesn't make small talk. He doesn't get attached. And he sure as hell doesn't let people close enough to give him something to lose. Then Elana moves into the apartment across the hall with her one-year-old son, Noah. It starts small. A broken lock. A few bags of groceries. Noah's toy rolling against Frank's boot. Late-night texts that are only supposed to make sure they're safe. You home? Did you lock the window? Kid asleep? Frank tells himself he's just being careful. Protecting people is different from caring about them. Until Noah starts reaching for him whenever he walks into the room. Until Elana begins recognizing the man underneath the bruises, anger, and carefully constructed walls. Until the apartment across the hall starts feeling dangerously close to something Frank thought had been buried with his wife and children. A family. Frank knows exactly what happens to the people he loves. So when his violent world begins creeping toward Elana and Noah, every instinct tells him to walk away before they become another pair of names he carries with him. There's only one problem. Frank Castle has never been very good at walking away from someone who needs protecting. And somewhere between midnight text messages, baby toys scattered across his floor, and Elana refusing to be afraid of him, protecting his neighbors becomes something much more dangerous. He starts loving them.
