About This Book
When Robert Dumont returns to New York to support his sister through a painful divorce, his priorities feel airtight: protect his family, grow his restaurant empire, repeat. What he doesn't account for is the neighbor who refuses to be ignored. Skye Winchester is confident, self-possessed, and exactly the kind of complication a man like Robert tells himself he doesn't need. What unfolds between them isn't a slow burn so much as a controlled fire — two people who know exactly what they want finally meeting someone worth wanting. The real tension isn't whether they'll give in, but whether either of them is ready for what comes after.
Layla Hagen writes contemporary romance with a sharp awareness of how adults actually negotiate desire and responsibility, and that balance is what gives this book its texture. Robert's voice anchors the story with warmth beneath the boardroom armor, while Skye refuses to be softened for anyone's convenience. At 247 pages, the pacing is precise — nothing overstays its welcome, and the emotional payoffs feel genuinely earned rather than inevitable. It's a satisfying read for anyone who likes their romance grounded in character rather than circumstance.
