In THE MAN NEXT DOOR, a coming-of-age slow burn suspense romance, a young girl falls for her older neighbor who may be linked to a murder in their small town. She then escapes her life and begins again, only to fall for another mysterious man who hides a painful past.

I was just a young neglected girl when I met my new next door neighbor Gavin, a reclusive broken man, ten years my senior. He knew better. But I certainly didn’t. All I knew was that I liked what I saw.

All I had were my best friends, Izzie and Gavin. My father forbade me to see Gavin, but I didn’t listen. I was crazy about him, and he cherished me. Even when our small community was rocked by a heinous crime, and Gavin was the main suspect, I still loved him.

When tragedy struck, I finally escaped. As far away as I could.

I struggled to forget, but found myself still thinking about my past, about Gavin and Izzie, about my other life. Until years later...

Noah Parker. My new neighbor. Beautiful, sweet and intoxicating. There was something about him I just couldn’t put my finger on. He was the first man since Gavin that I let myself fall for. I thought he might even be the one. Until…

… the day I discovered his secret.

THE MAN NEXT DOOR is a steamy, forbidden, slow burn coming-of-age, alpha male, age-gap, secret identity suspense romance novel.
