Some walls are built to protect. Others are built to keep people out.
But the one Vanessa Greene carries?
She’s lived behind it for years.

Layton Graham is a dangerous distraction—too charming, too persistent, and too familiar with disappointment. Vanessa knows better than to let someone like him get too close. But when Grams hires her to plan a high-profile anniversary event—and insists Layton help—proximity becomes pressure.

And pressure cracks walls.

Between flirtation, sarcasm, thunderstorm kisses, and secrets they weren’t supposed to share, Vanessa finds herself surrendering bricks she swore she’d never let go of.

He doesn’t want another wall.
She doesn’t want to fall.
But some love stories aren’t planned—they’re built, one broken piece at a time.
