A Dark Reverse-Harem Romance
When Lyric Hayes inherits a small house on Cypress Hill Drive, she's desperate for peace - a place to start over, to quiet the echoes of her parents' unexplained deaths. The quiet California street seems perfect: sun-washed lawns, lemon trees, a sense of safety she hasn't felt in years.
But across the street, the gates never close.
The bungalow opposite hers is alive with music, chaos, and the kind of men her mother used to warn her about - too beautiful, too confident, too dangerous. A bike that purrs like a threat. A pickup truck that prowls like a beast. Laughter that sounds like sin.
They don't belong in a neighborhood like this. And neither, it seems, does she.
The night she arrives, Lyric nearly runs one of them over - blood on his lip, danger in his eyes, a smirk that says run if you want, sweetheart, we'll still find you.
They're not just neighbors. They're a family with secrets buried under their perfect facade - a family that lives by its own rules, led by a woman whose name people whisper but never say aloud.
Lyric tells herself she'll stay away. That she'll lock her doors, keep her head down, and ignore the shadows across the street.
But curiosity has teeth.
And on Cypress Hill Drive, some doors aren't meant to stay closed.
Because once you see them, once they see you...
you don't just fall.
You regret.
You Regret Us.
