Blanket of Stars

All Cayson Bexley ever wanted was to fly . . . Until a near-fatal crash clipped his wings, sending the injured military pilot back to his hometown and living right next door to me.







From the moment our eyes meet, the attraction is undeniable. I mean who wouldn't fall for that achingly gorgeous face, his clean-cut demeanor, and sweet, small town charm?







Other than our mutual love of music, we're as opposite as two people can be. Which is precisely why I friend-zone him the moment he shows interest. But as time goes on, my heart softens to this man who once had it all-a literal hero floundering to find his purpose.







In the midst of my own struggles, I could certainly use a friend. Heck, I could use more than that. And I'm not afraid to let Cayson know it.







When I discover my hunk of a neighbor is as shy as he is inexperienced, I offer him a distraction he can't possibly refuse. We already share a very thin wall. Why not a bed too?







There's only one catch: he'll have to promise not to fall in love with me . . . A no-strings hook-up is every man's dream, right? What could possibly go wrong?
