Orchestral percussionist Gavin McKee just might be having the worst week of his life.
It wasn't enough that his longtime girlfriend dumped him for another man. Just a few days later, his dog had to die unexpectedly.
It's no wonder, then, that Gavin falls into a deep funk. He tries to keep up some semblance of normalcy by attending a colleague's birthday party; it's there that he becomes better acquainted with violinist Roxanne Lively, in whom he finds a kindred spirit who's recently endured her own painful breakup. They end up at Gavin's place after the party, nominally for a quick nightcap - but it turns into more. Much more.
The complication? Gavin's twenty-eight years old - and Roxanne is fifty-four. As they try to figure out if they can work with the age difference and have a chance at love, or if they're just meant to be friends who found each other at the right time, they both know one thing is for sure: neither of their lives will be quite the same again.

The Men Next Door
✅ Complete ✅ When Campbell Kramer accepted a job offer in Manhattan, she never could've imagined what the city had in store for her. Namely, two handsome men who live on either side of her new apartment. One is older, one is younger. One is introverted, one is extroverted. One is serious, one is playful. Both of them want her attention. What could go wrong? ☲☲☲☲☲ ☆Brooks☆ My neighbor was the one to close the distance between us. She did it quickly--like she was scared the moment would pass away forever if she let another millisecond go by--and I rested my hand on the side of her face to steady her. Something about my touch must have given her courage. ♡Campbell♡ The men finally greeted each other while I snipped the green, woody stems and plopped them into the tallest mug I owned. Their sentences were short and awkward, and as I rearranged the blooms for the umpteenth time, the realization that they'd told each other what happened hit me like a south-bound train. I don't know why I didn't expect that. They were best friends, after all. I was just the girl next door. They had no loyalty to me, no reason to keep our time together a secret. ☆Luca☆ Her lips met mine slowly, softly, hesitantly--like she wasn't so sure kissing her neighbor was the best idea--and I responded just as delicately. But when her hand made its way into the back of my hair, our bodies melded together like a lust-struck alloy. And the only hope of separating us was to add more heat. ☲☲☲☲☲ Featured by: 📙 @Wattpad • Poolside Problems ☀️ (July 2026) • Love Triangles 💘😈 (July 2025) • Spicy Summer Reads (July 2024) • Endless Reading Mode 🧡 (Jan 2024) • Summer in the City 🥵 (June 2023) 📕 @Romance • Love Triangle (April 2025) • New Adult (June 2024) 📘 @Ambassadors • Hot Encounters (Dec 2024) 📗 @ChickLit • Rom-Com (Oct 2025) • Ambassador's Picks (Jul 2025) Awards: 🥈 Romance runner-up (The Prime AwardConcluída
