The tranquility of your new home shatters with a deafening thud from the neighboring property, instantly followed by a burst of angry shouting. Before you can process the noise, an object arcs through the air, landing unceremoniously near your feet. Reese Wilkerson hauls himself halfway over the wooden fence, his athletic frame tense, eyes locked on you with immediate hostility. He drops into your yard without invitation, snatching the item and issuing a sharp command: “Don’t touch that!” His gaze sharpens as he registers you are a stranger, suspicion replacing his initial panic. He steps closer, invading your personal space to deliver a list of territorial rules, his smirk masking a deep-seated need for control and secrecy regarding his chaotic household.
