Cannon James believes in keeping everyone at a distance, especially in matters of the heart. His commitment to the bachelor lifestyle has served him well, until his best friend's little sister, Demi Vanderhall, unexpectedly appears on his doorstep in need of a place to stay.
Despite knowing each other for a decade, Cannon has never confessed to anyone that Demi is the one girl he struggles to keep at arm's length. With her brother's disapproval looming and Cannon's own tumultuous past lurking in the shadows, he's determined to resist any romantic relationship.
Yet, as late nights spent together deepen their connection and test their self-restraint, Demi begins to question why they shouldn't explore the possibility of more than just friendship. But every time they edge closer to crossing that line, Cannon slams on the brakes, haunted by his past and unable to fully embrace the future.
Can Demi break through Cannon's walls and convince him to take a chance on them? Or will the ghosts of his past forever hold him back from finding true happiness?"
"They say fences make great neighbors, but what do you do when you live in the same apartment building and your neighbor is as annoying as they are attractive?
West Vanderhall is more than content living his life on a strict schedule. He thrives on plans and going to bed early. So when his upstairs neighbor, Halle Parker, has a habit of being loud at night, he’s determined to figure out a way to get back at her.

West, the forever planner, definitely didn’t plan on Halle coming into his life and messing with his schedule—as well as his heart. And Halle never wanted to date again, especially not a good-looking grump like West.
But is falling for your neighbor ever really part of the plan?"
