𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇, Freya Skye Jones is a pro at playing the "perfect lead," but she wasn't prepared for the way Malachi's apology would feel like an invitation to burn her world down all over again. 𝐎𝐑 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇, Malachi Barton plays a dangerous game, trying to win back the girl who was his entire world before he realized that some bridges don't just burn-they turn to ash.

Sixteen-year-old Freya Skye has everything the world thinks she wants-fame, fortune, and millions of fans who know every lyric she's ever written. She's the girl in the spotlight, the voice on the radio, the face on every magazine cover. But after a messy, very public breakup with her longtime boyfriend in Miami, Freya's family makes a fresh start in Los Angeles. To her, it's a chance to hide the cracks behind the perfect image. To everyone else at her new school, she's untouchable. Everyone, except Malachi Barton. Malachi has grown up in LA, surrounded by basketball, family legacy, and his close-knit group of friends. He doesn't have time for celebrity drama-he doesn't even know who Freya is when she shows up in her sleek Range Rover and sends the whole school into a frenzy. To him, she's just the new girl who looks like she's carrying secrets too heavy for someone her age. Freya is used to people loving the idea of her, not the real her. But with Malachi-and his friends, protective Kamri, hilarious MK, fangirl Dara, artistic Malia, stylish Kylie, and theatrical Joshua-she finds something she's never had before: a chance at being normal. A chance to laugh without cameras watching. A chance to be herself. But the past doesn't stay buried for long. Between paparazzi headlines, whispers at school, and the shadow of her ex, Freya has to decide if letting someone in is worth the risk. And Malachi must face what it means to fall for a girl whose world could pull him into the spotlight whether he wants it or not. A love story about healing, trust, and the courage to be seen-not as the world sees you, but as you truly are.

When Freya Skye moves from London to Los Angeles, she expects big changes-new home, new school, and new friends. What she doesn't expect is that her next-door neighbor is Malachi Barton: charming, kind, and entirely impossible to ignore. From awkward introductions to late-night conversations, the two form an instant connection that quickly blossoms into something neither of them can ignore. With the support of their friends-Kylie, Dara, Malia, and MK-they navigate the ups and downs of teenage life: school drama, talent shows, and first love. But life isn't always perfect. Secrets, misunderstandings, and challenges test their bond, and when Freya faces a life-altering accident, everything changes. As Freya and Malachi fight to hold onto each other, they discover what it truly means to love and live fully-even in the face of heartbreak. Next Door to You is a story about first love, friendship, courage, and the moments that make life unforgettable.

Malachi Barton and Freya Skye formed a close bond while filming zombies, but neither of them thought they would end up falling for each other. But there are some matters of the heart you just can't ignore...

Freya Skye has everything - beauty, popularity, and the perfect boyfriend. As the captain of the cheer squad, life at Jefferson High is basically her runway. Malachi Barton, on the other hand, is the last person she'd ever notice: the quiet, brilliant, annoyingly confident boy next door who somehow balances straight A's with touchdowns. They've lived beside each other their whole lives but never exchanged a single word... until fate pairs them up for a project. Sarcastic jabs turn into fiery arguments, and soon, every hallway becomes a battlefield. But behind the insults and eye-rolls, something deeper is growing - something neither of them is ready to admit. Enemies? Absolutely. Something more? Maybe. - Writer Speaking: Hey!! So, here is it. A new book of my favorite ship, Fralachi. So hope you enjoy it. 😁😁 ⚠️This book has nothing to do with real life, and if you don't like it, just don't read and keep your hateful comments to yourself. Thank you.

I always thought Malachi and I would stay the same forever. Late-night FaceTime. Inside jokes, no one else understood. The kind of friendship where people raised their eyebrows and whispered, "Are you sure you're just friends?" And every time, I'd laugh and say, "Yeah, we're just friends." But maybe I was only trying to convince myself. Because somewhere between the shared playlist, the teasing banter and the way his eyes found mine in a crowded room... I stopped believing it. And maybe he did, too.
