Space For Two (Pardo de Tavera #1)

Wren Constance Pardo de Tavera has always been the sunshine in a family of doctors. She's quirky, loved by everyone she meets and refuses to let life feel too heavy. Now stepping into college life on her own, she's ready to embrace independence, the chaos that comes with it, and bring her warmth wherever she goes.

Her new neighbor, Elio Ismael Alcantara, couldn't be more different. Grumpy, guarded, and resistant to Wren's relentless energy, Elio wants nothing more than peace and quiet. He keeps his life focused on responsibilities and doesn't have time for activities that might throw him off track. Yet no matter how hard they try to stay apart, life keeps pulling them into the same corners.

And when faced with Elio's walls and silence, Wren doesn't retreat. She's determined to prove that even the most guarded spaces can make room for light. In those moments between them, silence feels heavier, glances linger longer, and the space bends into something neither of them can quite explain.
