The fence between them was supposed to keep them apart. Instead, it brought them together. For nine years, Grant has shared backyard cookouts, friendly conversations, and a property line with the woman next door. She was always off limits. Not because he didn't notice her. Because he did. A summer storm tears down the fence separating their homes, leaving Grant and Elise rebuilding it together one post at a time. Long mornings become lingering afternoons. Casual conversations become impossible confessions. Before either of them realizes it, the strongest thing they're building isn't a new fence. It's a life neither of them can stop wanting. But wanting each other comes with a devastating price. Two marriages. Two friendships. One entire neighborhood that will never look at them the same way again. Sometimes the hardest part isn't falling in love. It's deciding whether the truth is worth everything you'll lose to claim it. The Woman Next Door is a scorching contemporary romance featuring forbidden attraction, emotional angst, explicit love scenes, and a hard-earned happily ever after.
