Author Wyatt Whitlock is one of the biggest names in action thrillers and writes for the largest publisher in the business. She's extremely private and writes prolifically—well, until recently. Writer's block may spell the end of her career if she can't figure a way around it. A drastic change in scenery and a really old house in New Orleans could get her creativity going again, but renovating the house she bought on a whim might just kill her.

Hayley Fox has put in her time as an assistant to an assistant in publishing, and it's finally paid off. She's been hired by a firm in New Orleans and she's planning to use that as a springboard to the big leagues in New York, if only her sexy new neighbor—whose bare windows face Hayley's—didn't make staying put an oh-so-tempting option.

Wyatt and Hayley might be made for each other if only they can get through nosy neighbors, the historical society, at-odds future plans, and all the secrets hidden in Wyatt's walls.
