He's trying to shield her from the life he lives. She's trying to decide if loving him is salvation or self-destruction.

Some temptations are too close to ignore. Monica Rivers has spent years building a quiet life for herself and her daughter Raina in their cozy Atlanta condo. Focused, guarded, and fiercely independent, she's done everything right until Zayden Carter moves in downstairs. Young, smooth, and carrying a quiet fire beneath his easy smile, Zay is everything Monica knows she should stay away from. Especially since Raina seems to take a liking to their new neighbor almost immediately. But proximity has a way of eroding good intentions. Late-night run-ins, lingering glances, and unspoken conversations begin to crack the walls Monica built around her heart. The closer Zay and Raina get, the harder Monica fights a desire she can't afford to acknowledge a desire that could destroy the careful balance she's fought to maintain. Caught between loyalty, longing, and the fear of what's right versus what's real, Monica has to decide: Some lines aren't meant to be crossed. But what if the love you need the most is the one that's been living right downstairs?

Dr. Nylah Rae Mercer took an oath to heal minds, not fall into them. She built her career inside locked wards and white halls, treating patients the world had already given up on. Distance was her armor. Control was her gift. Until she opened a file stamped with one number that changed everything. 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏 doesn't scream. He doesn't beg. He doesn't act insane the way they expect him to. Kai Beton is quiet, observant, dangerous in a way no diagnosis can explain.
