A Little Closer (ROMANCE)
Samantha Parker is the definition of a hopeless romantic-except she's lost all hope. After a failed engagement and a string of fleeting relationships, she's convinced that love is just an illusion. Focusing on her successful career as a book editor, Sam has given up on the idea of finding "the one" and is determined to live her life independently, without the complications of romance.
Enter Jack Harris, her new neighbor. Tall, charming, and undeniably attractive, Jack is everything Sam never thought she'd want-at least, that's what she tells herself. He's a free spirit, with a contagious laugh and an ability to make anyone feel at ease. But there's something else about him-an unspoken sadness behind his eyes that Sam can't ignore.
When their paths keep crossing-whether it's in the elevator, at the coffee shop downstairs, or when he's helping her carry groceries up the stairs-their encounters become impossible to ignore. Jack is persistent but respectful, always giving Sam space but never letting her slip away entirely. He listens to her when she needs to vent, makes her smile when she's had a bad day, and slowly, little by little, starts to break down the walls she's built around her heart.
As their friendship deepens, Sam is forced to confront the emotions she's been suppressing for years-fears of vulnerability, of trusting someone again, and of falling for someone who might not be able to stay. Jack, on the other hand, has his own scars from a past love that still haunts him. Despite their shared hesitations, they can't help but feel drawn to each other in ways neither of them fully understands.
