Aiden Walker knows how to build walls.
As a successful architect living high above Manhattan, he has mastered the art of distance. His life is controlled, polished, and untouchable. He designs beautiful spaces for other people, but inside his own world, everything is carefully arranged to keep him safe from the past he refuses to name.
Claire Hart notices what others miss.
A school counselor with a guarded heart of her own, Claire has learned that love should never require self-abandonment. When she moves into the apartment three floors below Aiden's penthouse, she sees what most people don't: he is not cold. He is wounded. And the walls around him were built long before she arrived.
What begins as quiet hallway moments, reluctant conversations, and unexpected tenderness slowly becomes an undeniable connection neither of them can ignore.
But Aiden has spent years surviving by keeping people out.
And Claire refuses to lose herself trying to be let in.
Emotional, intimate, and deeply slow-burn, Walls: The Almost is the first book in The Walls Duology - a contemporary romance about childhood wounds, found family, emotional boundaries, and the dangerous beauty of almost becoming something more.
Some walls are built to hide and protect.
