It's the year 1996 in the city of New York.

Phoebe Carla Bradley is new to the city, short of money, and just a few months away from graduating high school. She deals with the typical worries any working class person does. The first one on the list is surviving the expensive living in lower Manhattan. The second one, college.

In desperate need of a simple but decent job, Phoebe gets the first bit of luck in her life when the opportunity to work in a restaurant above the clouds falls on her lap... Windows on the World. Atop the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
The downside: having to work surrounded by 'the suits'.

Also working in the North Tower, two floors below but a complete stranger to the restaurant, is Walter Terrence Cooperman, a legal and financial advisor whose daily outfits consist exclusively of suits.

Circumstances keep making them stumble upon each other, and over time, an odd relationship develops between them. One that, no matter how hard Phoebe tries to avoid, manages to become a lifeline for both. It is not something Phoebe would have ever seen coming.

Because that man represents everything she has been taught to reject.

The Men Next Door by wildfirehoney
47 parts Complete Mature
✅ 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 their new neighbor. 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 • Spicy Summer Reads (July 2024) • Endless Reading Mode 🧡 (Jan 2024) • Summer in the City 🥵 (June 2023) 📕 @Romance • New Adult (June 2024) 📘 @Ambassadors • Hot Encounters (Dec 2024) Awards: 🥈 Romance runner-up (The Prime Awards 2023)
