She’s being evicted from the life she built. He’s the attorney who knows exactly how landlords win—because he never loses.
Interior designer Olivia Brooks has thirty days to leave her Upper West Side studio, and the timing couldn’t be worse: clients are backing out, bills are piling up, and New York isn’t the kind of city that waits for you to catch your breath.
Ethan Cole offers a solution she can’t afford to refuse—an empty guest apartment next door to him, strict rules, and a plan to fight back. It’s temporary. Professional. Safe.
Until one photo, one rumor, and one too‑convenient “boyfriend” assumption turns their arrangement into a public narrative neither of them asked for.
As anonymous messages escalate and Ethan’s past resurfaces with a vendetta, Olivia must decide what’s harder: letting the world rewrite her story—or trusting a man whose version of love is built on boundaries, choice, and showing up.
Tropes you’ll love:
Forced proximity
Slow burn
Protective (but respectful) hero
“We have rules”
Private love, public pressure
Found safety
Closed‑door / low spice vibe
A grounded, modern romance with emotional depth—and a heroine who learns to stop abandoning herself.
