The Window
Some people watch from windows. Some people finally go outside.
Who gets to decide what love can handle?
For six weeks, divorced recording engineer Derek has admired the woman next door from his kitchen window. At forty-nine, he knows how to keep his life manageable—and his desires at a safe distance. Then she invites him through the gate.
To him, she is Alexis: bold, perceptive, and impossible to resist. To her family, she is Claire Beauchamp. Fifteen years as an adult-film performer have taught her how to be wanted. Being truly known is another matter.
As their separate houses begin to feel like one shared life, keeping those worlds apart becomes impossible. Derek must risk asking for what he wants. Claire must stop deciding for him what his love can survive.
The Window is a standalone, open-door contemporary romance about desire, identity, and the courage to let someone know all of you.
