Felon Next Door. Neighbors & Roommates, #1

Jace Calloway thought his future ended the day he went to prison. Ten years later, he keeps his head down, his circle small, and his past exactly where he thinks it belongs-behind him. Then Owen Mercer moves in next door. Owen is steady, patient, and impossible to ignore. More importantly, he doesn't look at Jace and see a criminal. He sees the man standing in front of him. What begins as quiet conversations across the yard slowly becomes friendship, attraction, and something Jace never expected to have again: hope.
But letting Owen in means giving him something Jace has spent years protecting-his heart. And when the past Jace thought he'd escaped comes knocking, the life he's built and the man he's falling for could both be at risk. Some second chances don't ask permission. Sometimes, they move in next door.
