Second chance, accidental neighbors, enemies-to-lovers, friends with benefits, stand-alone contemporary romance.

My ex moved into my building.
It shouldn't matter. I live at the office and swore off dating.
His unexpected proximity changes nothing. As the adult in the building, I offer my friendship-to put the past behind us.
But I forgot what a good friend he can be...and there's plenty I never forgot.
The years somehow made him more handsome, because, of course, they did. Doesn't matter if he's in a suit or a T-shirt-although, I prefer him in tees, and he lives in suits.
Clothing choices are just one sign that time has changed things-Changed us. The college years were a different era.
As a hot-shot lawyer, relationships aren't on his radar. And for once, we agree on something.
Dating is a bad idea.

I never forgot her. But I wanted to.
Back then, I thought because we hit it off in every way-and I mean every way - we'd have a future.
After we imploded, I hoped to never see her again, but thanks to a mutual friend, no luck on that score. Hello, neighbor.
My easy-to-talk-to and easy-on-the-eyes neighbor.
And then I went and got a half-cocked idea... or, one might call it a fully-cocked idea.
With the right parameters, we could have it all-friends with benefits. What happens when one of us wants to re-negotiate those parameters? When the lines blur, will the friendship survive?
