Fixing a Neighbor

When a quiet woman with a stable job and a deep grudge moves into a new neighborhood, all she wants is peace, privacy, and maybe decent Wi-Fi. What she gets instead: a broken faucet... and a too-friendly neighbor. Then Eli, the loud man next door, offers to fix it. Gentle, patient, and maybe too kind for this world, Eli doesn‘t just repair the plumbing, he finds his way into Mira‘s kitchen, her routines, the places she‘s spent years sealing shut. They both carry scars: His, hidden behind nervous smiles and cinnamon toast. Hers, tucked deep in the marrow of a truth she can‘t afford to surface. When a party ends in tragedy and old ghosts start stirring, Mira must decide how far she‘ll go to protect the fragile peace she‘s built, and the man who reminds her of everything she thought she‘d lost. This is a story about love. About guilt. About survival. About two broken people trying to fix each other, until something breaks for good. A slow-burn contemporary romance laced with psychological suspense, buried grief, and emotional rot, for readers who believe love can be redemptive... or ruinous.
