His Rules, My Walls

He built a fortress to keep the world out. She just moved in with a sledgehammer.

Remi Vale is an artist who paints in chaos and color. But when a public breakup leaves her homeless and her career in tatters, shes forced to accept the only lifeline she has: a job managing "The Foundry," an elite, private gym in the industrial district.

The problem? The owner.

Elias Thorne is a ghost. An ex-military recluse who runs his life—and his gym—with military precision. He hates noise. He hates mess. And he absolutely hates having a roommate who wears neon socks and plays Fleetwood Mac at all hours.

Elias has rules. Lots of rules.

• Rule #1: Silence is mandatory.
• Rule #2: The past stays buried.
• Rule #3: Never, ever let anyone in.

Remi breaks all of them in the first week.

But as the friction between them turns into sparks, Remi begins to see the man beneath the scars. She sees the way he protects his own. She sees the quiet kindness behind the gruff commands. And she realizes that Elias isnt just hiding from the world—hes hiding from himself.

When the ghosts of Eliass past come knocking, threatening to destroy the sanctuary hes built, Remi has to decide if shes just a tenant... or the partner he needs to survive the storm.

Can a woman who lives out loud save a man whos drowning in silence?

His Rules, My Walls is a full-length, slow-burn contemporary romance with a grumpy/sunshine dynamic, plenty of angst, and a hard-earned Happily Ever After. Perfect for fans of Mariana Zapata and Lucy Score.
