"You're mine now. Completely mine. And I'm never letting you go."
Layla has watched Derek Carter from her window for four years. Studied him. Wanted him. Planned for him.
He's thirty-nine, married, and living the perfect suburban life next door. She's twenty-two, and she knows exactly what she wants: him.
This summer, everything changes. She'll make him notice her. She'll make him need her. She'll make him hers.
Derek thinks he's a good man. Faithful. Responsible. But when the woman next door looks at him with hunger in her eyes, when she touches him like she'll die without it, when she whispers what she wants him to give her — his carefully constructed life begins to crumble.
One taste, and he's addicted. One night, and he knows he'll never be satisfied with his old life again.
She's his neighbor. She's forbidden. And she won't stop until she's his wife, carrying his child, living the life she always knew was meant to be hers.
From affair to marriage to a house full of children, watch Layla transform from the woman next door into Derek's fuller, softer, wholly wanted wife. Every change her body goes through only makes him want her more. Every child born binds them tighter.
She chose him. He chose her. And nothing will keep them apart.
