He heard a voice through the wall. It changed everything.
Noah Brooks moves into a cheap apartment with thin walls and a life that doesn’t fit. He’s twenty-eight, recently single, and running from a feeling he can’t name. His plan: keep his head down, do his job, maybe date someone appropriate. His plan lasts exactly one night.
Because the man in 4B has a voice that travels through plaster like it was designed to find him. Low, commanding, impossibly warm — and the things that voice says during sex are the things Noah has been starving to hear his entire life without knowing it. Good boy. You’re perfect. You’re so good for me.
Dante Alvarez is a bartender, a guitar teacher, and the most unapologetically alive person Noah has ever met. He’s out, he’s confident, and he’s been burned before by closeted men who wanted him in the dark and denied him in the light. He’s not doing that again. Not for anyone.
But there’s something about the quiet neighbor in 4A. The way he leans in when queer topics come up. The way his hands tremble when they touch. The way he lies about sleeping through the sounds that come through the wall — and the way his body tells a completely different story.
As the walls between them crack — literal and otherwise — Noah discovers that the voice he’s been listening to in the dark is attached to a man worth stepping into the daylight for. But coming out means losing the life he’s been performing. And Dante has already survived being someone’s secret once. He won’t survive it again.

Chapter One: New Walls
