Nextdoor Neighbor

Seokjin has spent his entire life building a fortress of professional perfection to protect the one thing he has left: his mother. As the lead strategist for the elite marketing firm Elevate Xylus, he is poised, untouchable, and harborer of a dark family past that could ruin him in an instant.

Enter Jeon Jungkook.

He is the rebellious, brilliant heir to the multi-billion-dollar Jeon Group, hiding behind a camera lens as a "freelance videographer" to escape the suffocating weight of his legacy. When he is assigned to Jin's high-stakes Chuseok campaign, the collision is instantaneous. Jungkook sees through Jin's polished armor, and Jin is terrified by the raw, protective fire in the younger man's eyes.

But as a heated office romance deepens into a soul-binding devotion, the shadows of the past refuse to stay buried. Between a vengeful corporate rival determined to tear them apart and the sudden, violent return of a ghost from Jin's past, the two must work together to protect what is theirs.

In a world where reputation is everything and the media is a shark in the water, can a love born in the dark survive the blinding light of the public eye?

A tale of corporate intrigue, healing from trauma, and a fierce, protective passion that proves some hearts are simply meant to be found.
