Darby by Mazzy King

Darby:
I meet a lot of people on the streets of Port City every day—my job as a patrol cop demands it. But in a city this big, I thought I could avoid her.
Harlowe Monroe. The girl I’ve loved since childhood, but never felt good enough for. The girl who I watched fall in love with another man because I was too scared to tell her how I really felt.
Then, one fateful night, Harlowe calls, needing my help, and just like that…we’re face to face again. And then, we’re next-door neighbors.
This time, I’m not letting the chance to tell her how much I want her pass me by.

Harlowe:
I’ve known Darby Cisneros since we were kids, and he was always the shy, quiet type. I always thought he was sexy, but he barely acted like I existed. Even now, as a cop, he hardly has two words to say to me even though he’s helped my family out in the past.
Now that I’m single after a terrible breakup, I move into the vacant apartment in his building. Being so close to him and still so far away drives me nuts, especially at night.
But now, with me next door…he won’t be able to ignore me.
