THE BOY NEXT DOOR
He’s the brooding bad boy with fists of steel. She’s the broken girl next door who sees right through him. But neither of them is ready for the darkness that binds them together.
When Maya moves to Rosewood Hills with her abusive father and bedridden mother, she expects loneliness, not chaos. On her first night, she witnesses a violent street brawl—and realizes the bloodied boy being beaten is none other than Liam Parker, her mysterious, cold classmate... and now, her next-door neighbor.
Everyone says Liam is dangerous. Unstable. Untouchable.
But Maya sees something else: pain. Vulnerability. A silent cry for help.
Even as Liam pushes her away, fate keeps throwing them together. And when he saves her from a group of violent bullies, something shifts. A crack forms in his stone-cold armor.
But Liam has a secret—one that makes him more than just the boy next door. One that’s buried deep in scars, shadows, and a past that should’ve killed him.
And when that secret is unleashed... Maya’s the only one who might survive it.
A story of trauma, trust, and a love born from ruin. Not all monsters hide in the dark—some live next door.
He was never just the boy next door. He was the storm waiting to happen.
