Falling for the Billionaire Next Door

Mia Carter never expected her quiet small-town life to be turned upside down by a stranger—especially one with a smile like trouble and secrets hidden behind storm-gray eyes. When a brooding, impossibly handsome man moves into the house next door, the entire town starts whispering. But Mia sees something no one else does: hurt, loneliness, and a heart he desperately tries to protect.

Andrew Thorne wasn't supposed to stay. The billionaire CEO fled to Willow Ridge to escape the press, the betrayal, and a past that refuses to let him breathe. The last thing he needs is a small-town baker with flour on her cheek and sunshine in her laugh. But the more time he spends with Mia, the harder it becomes to leave her—or hide who he really is.

Their worlds could not be more different. She believes in second chances. He believes love only leads to heartbreak. Until one night changes everything.

When Andrew's secrets come crashing into the light, Mia's heart shatters—and he disappears without goodbye. But some love stories don't end with walking away. Some demand a fight.

Now, Andrew must decide: return to the cold world that owns his name… or choose the woman who owns his heart.
