Little Story

Monyae had one rule:

Don't fall for the girl next door.

Unfortunately, that rule became impossible to follow the moment Saiyor smiled at her.

At twenty-one, Monyae is content focusing on her clients, online classes, and growing modeling career. The last thing she needs is a crush-especially on her six-foot-five neighbor who's sweet, protective, ridiculously attractive, and somehow always on her mind.

Saiyor has spent years keeping her feelings to herself. Between long shifts as a nurse, family obligations, and everyone constantly in her business, she's learned how to stay composed.

Until Monyae.

Now stolen glances through bedroom windows turn into late-night conversations, casual hangouts become something more, and suddenly neither of them can pretend their connection is just friendship.

The only problem?

Their families.

More specifically, their mothers.

Their moms are convinced they're relationship experts and have made it their personal mission to play matchmaker. Add in nosy siblings, chaotic kids, unexpected exes, neighborhood cookouts, and secrets that are getting harder to keep, and things quickly spiral out of control.

Maybe falling for your neighbor isn't the best idea.

But some people are worth the risk.
