If It Can't Be Us

After a devastating loss, Vivian Walker moves to Chicago, determined to rebuild her life and maybe even find love again. She’s witty, strong, and ready to embrace the future. There’s just one problem––Leo Weston, the charming, undeniably attractive British psychologist next door, who’s never been one for relationships or commitment.

Leo is wealthy, sexy, and has a penchant for one-night stands. For thirteen years, he’s lived the bachelor life—it’s easy, uncomplicated, and no one gets hurt. But when Vivian enters his life, everything changes. She’s different, and she makes him question everything he thought he knew about love.

Their chemistry is undeniable, but Leo’s past has left him with scars that are hard to heal, and he’s built walls that seem impossible to tear down. For Vivian, risking her heart on a man who refuses to open his might be a gamble she’s not ready to take—but walking away from what they have feels impossible.

In a game of push-and-pull, passion and fear, can they really remain just friends, or are some lines meant to be crossed?
