When you least expect it, love comes knocking...
Holland Davenport is ready to go beyond her small-town existence. Her plan involves moving into an apartment in Charleston—not inheriting a run-down brownstone in Brooklyn from a relative she never knew. Yet in a burst of daring, Holland meets the challenge head-on, moving to New York to learn more about her family and renovate the place. Add to that a gorgeous next-door neighbor who turns out to be a board member at her new job, and she's definitely out of her depth.
Noble Washington is the successful CEO of a company he spent a decade building. But his carefully ordered life begins to unravel the second he meets fiery social worker Holland—and spends one unforgettable night with a woman who should be off-limits.
There's a wall and a world of differences lying between them. But the sheltered Southerner and the ambitious native New Yorker feel a pull that just won't be denied...
From showing up to glowing up, the characters in Afterglow Books are on the path to leading their best lives and finding sizzling romance along the way. Don't miss any of these other fun titles...

Growing up, Holland Davenport knew she wanted to help foster children as a social worker, and she didn't want to stay in her tiny hometown. Her dreams are finally in reach when she receives unexpected news: she has inherited a Brooklyn brownstone from a great-aunt she didn't even know she had. Holland travels to New York City, intent on selling her inheritance quickly and getting back to her new life in Charleston. But the more time she spends surrounded by her aunt's things, the more she learns about her past and the more questions she has for the woman who raised her. With the added complication of an inconvenient attraction to her next-door neighbor, Holland's life soon feels out of her control. Noble Washington built a successful company fresh out of college and is shocked when its board gives him the boot. Meeting his new neighbor gives him some hope, but he's not sure he can convince Holland to give him a chance when his future is so up in the air. VERDICT Flagler's latest (Work-Love Balance writing as Nicki Night) takes readers on an emotional journey as Holland and Noble are forced to confront their pasts before trying to find a future together.--Rebecca Moe
