Raised inside the gilded walls of Blackwood Estate, she knows obedience is survival.

Maya Reyes came home to start over. New job. New apartment. Same street she swore she’d never live on again. The problem? Noah Carter still lives next door. The quiet boy who used to share his fries and walk her home is gone. In his place is six-foot-something of solid muscle, filthy mouth, and eyes that undress her every time she steps onto her balcony. He trains bodies for a living… and he’s made it very clear he wants to train hers in ways that have nothing to do with the gym. Maya tells herself it’s just proximity. Just old memories. Just one night to get him out of her system. But Noah doesn’t do “just one night.” He does late-night knocks on her door. He does her bent over the kitchen counter while the neighbors are still awake. He does slow, deep, and relentless until she’s shaking and begging and forgetting every reason she left this town in the first place. She wanted a fresh start. What she got was the boy next door… all grown up, all over her, and determined to ruin her for anyone else.
