Lucy has spent years protecting the lakeside cottage her family left behind.
Masen Edwards wants to buy it.
Yes, that Masen Edwards-the arrogant, infuriatingly attractive star of Pinnacle X. His management company needs Lucy's land to complete the private compound surrounding his mansion, but no amount of money will convince her to surrender the home, dock, and memories that belong to her.
Their property-line war should have ended with another slammed door.
Instead, it ends with both of them falling into Masen's pool.
One breathless moment beneath the water changes everything. Arguments become secret kisses. Midnight visits become tangled sheets. And the famous neighbor Lucy cannot stand becomes the man she cannot stop wanting.
But Masen's world does not allow secrets to remain private.
When photographs of their affair reach the tabloids, Lucy is branded a calculating opportunist using romance to negotiate a better price. Her friendship with Ami-Masen's biggest fan-begins to fracture, and the company behind Pinnacle X launches a legal attack against Lucy's property.
Now Masen must decide how much he is willing to sacrifice to protect the woman who refuses to be bought.
And Lucy must decide whether loving him is worth letting his dangerous, dazzling world through her gate.
A steamy enemies-to-lovers celebrity romance featuring feuding neighbors, secret hookups, tabloid scandal, possessive chemistry, and a stubborn heroine whose heart-and home-are not for sale.
