A fresh start was the plan. Falling for the infuriating man across the street was not.

After a brutal divorce and the sudden loss of her aunt, Sloane Bennett moves into the rundown house she inherited on Blackwood Court. She needs a job, a distraction, and enough paint to make the place feel like her own.

What she doesn’t need is Cal.

Her frustratingly attractive neighbor keeps showing up uninvited, fixing things she never asked him to touch, and looking at her like he already knows exactly how she tastes.

Cal has wanted Sloane for years. Now that she’s finally within reach, he has no intention of settling for one reckless night.

Sloane only wants something physical.

Cal wants all of her.

Welcome to Blackwood Court, where the neighbors are nosy, the secrets are messy, and temptation lives right across the street.

Across the Court is the first standalone novella in a series of increasingly forbidden romances.

A spicy neighbors-to-lovers romance featuring an obsessive handyman hero, a newly divorced heroine, emotional healing, possessive behavior, and plenty of heat.
