The Street We Live On

Some neighbors borrow sugar.

The one across the street stole her heart.

Ava Carter wasn't looking for love.

After losing everything that once felt like home, she escapes to a quiet Texas neighborhood determined to rebuild her life-one summer, one day, and one promise to her daughter at a time.

The last thing she needs is the infuriating man in the lifted black truck.

He's stubborn.

Protective.

Impossible to ignore.

And after one unforgettable argument in the middle of the street, she's convinced he'll become the biggest mistake of her fresh start.

Rhett Lawson has spent years keeping his world small.

His children come first.

His garage comes second.

Everything else can wait.

Until the beautiful woman across the street crashes into his carefully guarded life and reminds him what it feels like to laugh... to hope... and to want something more.

What begins as accidental encounters turns into late-night conversations, poolside glances, neighborhood cookouts, and a connection neither of them expected.

But healing isn't as simple as falling in love.

The ghosts they left behind still have a way of finding them.

And sometimes risking your heart is far more terrifying than losing it.

Because home isn't always the place you run to...

Sometimes it's the person waiting just across the street.
