Thin Walls - A Novella

When Nora Ellis buys a charming old row house on Willow Street, she expects a fresh start-not a burst pipe, a flooded bathroom, and a first meeting with her dangerously attractive next-door neighbor while wearing nothing but a towel. Cal Mercer is calm, competent, infuriatingly observant, and far too good at showing up whenever Nora's house-or her life-starts falling apart. What begins as reluctant neighborly assistance quickly turns into late-night conversations through paper-thin walls, stolen glances, shared dinners, and a growing awareness that four feet of sidewalk may not be nearly enough distance between them.

The problem is, falling for the man next door comes with complications neither of them planned for. Nora is determined not to lose herself in another relationship, while Cal has spent years believing every problem can be solved if he thinks long enough and plans carefully enough. As flirtation gives way to something hotter-and far more serious-they'll have to decide whether love is another risk to manage or something worth stepping into without a blueprint. Funny, steamy, and full of slow-building tension, **Thin Walls** is a neighbors-to-lovers romance about learning when to let someone in, even when they've been close enough to hear you all along.
