Until You Burn

By: Roy, Kristina

When Mara Beckett flees her toxic five-year relationship, the last thing she wants is another man-especially not her ex's best friend.

Fresh start in Brooklyn. New apartment. New rules.No serious relationships.No complications.And definitely no involvement with anyone connected to her ex.

But when Mara moves into a charming garden apartment in Park Slope, she discovers her new landlord is Julian Ashford-quiet, brooding restoration architect, owner of the beautiful century-old brownstone... and the man who has secretly wanted her for years.

Now they're sharing the same building.Trading late-night texts through the vents.Dancing around the laundry room and almost-kisses on narrow staircases.Fighting the pull that grows stronger with every repaired sink, every shared cup of coffee, and every moment they pretend they're just landlord and tenant.

Julian has spent three years honoring the bro code. Mara has spent five years losing herself.Both of them know the rules.Both of them are about to break every single one.

A slow-burn, emotionally charged romance about healing, home, and choosing each other-one carefully restored piece at a time.

Perfect for fans of forced proximity, best friend's ex, and deeply felt contemporary romance with plenty of heat.
