The Single Mom Next Door

Cale likes his life simple: no relationships, no drama, and no reason to change his mind.

That resolve slips when Melanie, the guarded woman next door, and her son, Oakley, begin to occupy more of his thoughts than he wants to admit.

Melanie has spent a year rebuilding safety after a devastating divorce, and starting over in a small town is even harder with her ex-husband living nearby with the woman he cheated with.

She has no intention of putting that hard-won calm at risk for a man she is not ready to believe in.

Then a senseless act knocks Melanie and Oakley's world apart again, and Cale does not hesitate to step in.

As he becomes the dependable presence they never asked for, Melanie must face whether she can trust again, while Cale understands he cannot walk away.
