My Hot Forbidden Neighbor

Natalie has earned a reputation that won't go away. One misstep transformed her high school experience into a nightmare, leaving her determined to fade into the background during her final year. She craves invisibility, desperate to bury the chaos and heartache behind her. Everything changes when Jacob moves in next door and walks through her school's doors.

Jacob has never felt the pull of attraction—toward anyone. While his peers obsessed over crushes since middle school, he remained unmoved, uncertain if his moment would ever arrive. Now seventeen, he's finally encountered someone who stirs something inside him. The problem? He doesn't owe explanations for who he is or isn't attracted to, no matter how many girls pursue him.

"Go easy there..." He leans closer than necessary. I don't pull away. "Why do you care? It might benefit you somehow." I counter, nursing my drink. He takes the hint, his arm finding my waist. "Fair enough. But I don't want careless girls in my bed."

What begins as stolen glances evolves into something neither anticipated. Natalie wants solitude; Jacob wants to understand himself. Their connection forces both to confront what they've been avoiding. As lines blur between neighbors and something deeper, they must navigate a love triangle neither saw coming and the messy reality of being eighteen in a world that demands certainty.
