The Cabin Next Door: A Steamy MM First-Time Summer Romance by Knox Barrington
He came to the lake to find peace.
He never expected to find desire.


After a painful separation, 49-year-old Neal Ashford retreats to a secluded Minnesota cabin for a 90-day sabbatical. He plans to rest, reflect, and figure out who he is without the weight of a long marriage.

Then Connor moves into the cabin next door.

Connor is 27, sun-kissed, and unexpectedly magnetic. What begins as casual conversation soon deepens into something charged. Shared beers by the fire. A night swim under the stars. Long looks that linger too long. Neal is drawn in, fighting feelings he has ignored for decades.

When he finally gives in to the pull, the intimacy is slow, hot, and deeply emotional. Neal lets Connor guide him into a first-time experience that is both erotic and life-changing. The way Connor touches him, looks at him, opens him up, makes Neal question everything he thought he knew about himself.

But Connor is not looking for a relationship. And Neal is not sure where this leaves him.

He just knows he cannot go back.



The Cabin Nextdoor is a steamy, age-gap MM romance filled with tenderness, vulnerability, and sexual awakening.
