Two Floors Down isn't romance. It's desire under pressure. A stolen journal. A missing package. A massive mistake. Jules promised herself she would undo her little invasion of privacy tomorrow. Except "tomorrow" is currently six weeks late, the journal has vanished, and its owner happens to be Julian Rivers- the art world's reigning, legendary genius. And an absolute menace when he flirts. Breaking into your rival's studio with a bobby pin and a YouTube tutorial is a great way to find answers. It's also a fantastic way to realize you have zero criminal talent, a massive crush, and a competitor who is entirely too good at reading your mind. ✨ RIVALS TO LOVERS ✨ ARTIST ROMANCE ✨ HIGH TENSION / SLOW BURN
