I thought moving in with Zayd would give us the fresh start we needed.

Instead, I met Idris.

He was charming, attentive, and far too interested in me. What began as harmless conversations between neighbors slowly became something I couldn't stop thinking about. He noticed the things Zayd no longer did. He listened when I spoke. He made me feel wanted in a way I hadn't realized I was missing.

So I started keeping secrets.

One small lie became another. A message I shouldn't have answered became a conversation I couldn't wait to continue. And before I realized how far I'd gone, the man next door had become the one person I couldn't stay away from.

But Idris has been hiding something of his own.

And when the truth finally comes out, Zora has to face the question she's been avoiding all along:

How much of herself is she willing to sacrifice for a desire she knows she shouldn't want?

The Next Door Temptation is a dark, psychological romance novella about forbidden attraction, emotional betrayal, manipulation, and the dangerous thrill of wanting what you shouldn't have.
