Theo Nott thinks you deserve kindness. Mattheo Riddle thinks you need to be challenged. Unfortunately for you, neither one plans on giving you a choice.
A feared royal Executioner who never speaks more than necessary keeps showing up in your orbit—watching a little too closely, staying a little too long, and acting nothing like the monster the kingdom believes him to be.
You’ve spent years trying to beat Branden Noel. Then you meet his older brother, Cameron. He’s charming, confident, and nothing like the rival you’ve spent years fighting with—and unfortunately, he’s very interested in you. But as Cameron gets closer, Branden’s attitude starts changing too. Maybe you’re not caught between two brothers because of a rivalry after all. Maybe you’re caught between something much more complicated.
You wanted a quiet new beginning. Instead, you got a monkey, a missing set of keys, and a ridiculously charming man in a yellow hat. Now you’re dealing with stolen belongings, unexpected visits, museum adventures, questionable life choices, and a neighbor who’s becoming increasingly difficult to think of as just your neighbor. (Yes, this IS based on Curious George… no judgment, pls.)
