Walls

Aiden Walker opened the door.

Now he has to learn how to stay.

After years of mistaking distance for safety, Aiden has finally allowed Claire Hart close enough to see the man behind the walls. What they share is no longer simple. No longer easy to name. No longer something either of them can pretend is just an almost.

But love does not heal a lifetime of wounds overnight.

As Aiden's past begins to surface, old fears threaten the fragile connection he and Claire have built. He wants her. He needs her. But wanting someone and knowing how to love them without hiding are two very different things.

Claire has already learned what it means to choose herself.

And no matter how much she loves Aiden, she refuses to become the person waiting outside a door he is too afraid to open.

To find their way back to each other, Aiden must face the frightened boy he once was, and Claire must decide whether love can be both safe and whole.

Emotional, intimate, and deeply healing, Walls: The Open Door is the conclusion to The Walls Duology - a slow-burn contemporary romance about trauma, boundaries, heartbreak, chosen family, and the kind of love that does not force walls to fall.

Some must learn how to become home.

This book continues directly after the events of Walls: The Almost.
