Skyler always believed in second chances and finding light in the darkest places. When he moved into a shared house, he didn't expect to cross paths with Knox, a brooding and closed-off man hiding behind towering emotional walls. Despite Knox's cold demeanor, Skyler saw glimpses of vulnerability and made it his mission to break through his defenses.
Their journey is anything but easy. As Skyler's warmth begins to melt Knox's icy exterior, old wounds resurface, and emotions become tangled. With the chaos of their lives interwoven with friends, misunderstandings, and unspoken desires, can they truly overcome their differences?
A story of trust, healing, and love-because sometimes, the hardest walls to break are the ones we build around our hearts.
Perfect for readers who love slow-burn romance, emotional growth, and the beauty of finding love in unexpected places.

Semi never dreamed of love-she only wanted to survive. Juggling multiple jobs and keeping everyone at arm's length, she built walls too high for anyone to climb. Until Teo came along. Wealthy, persistent, and utterly smitten, he had no business chasing after a girl like her. Yet, he did. She let him stay-not because she believed in love, but because she liked his presence. And for the first time, someone made her feel like she wasn't just rust-like she could be something beautiful, like roses blooming through the cracks of her broken past. But when her violent father resurfaces, demanding the money she never spent, and the mother who abandoned her turns out to be tied to Teo's world in the worst way possible, Semi is forced to confront the reality she tried to escape. A painful betrayal, a cruel promise, and a desperate choice threaten to pull them apart. Yet, Teo refuses to let go. Even when she runs. Even when she breaks. Even when she tells him it's over.
