Notting Dale Neighbors

A wall separates them. A handful of notes changes everything.
Molly Keane has built her life with precise stitches, strict boundaries and a door chain she controls.
The Irish glove maker works from her tiny Notting Dale flat, protecting both the livelihood she created and the grief she refuses to package for strangers.

Next door, Theo Marsh is a consultant paediatric surgeon who is brilliant at being needed—and considerably worse at being known.

They first meet through the wall: an escaped needle, a midnight biscuit and handwritten notes pushed through a crack in the skirting. Their careful correspondence soon becomes the safest thing either of them has felt in years.
Then Bramley Mews management targets Molly’s home business. Private messages become evidence, neighbours are drawn into the dispute, and the entire building must decide whether community care is something to protect—or something that can be used against them.

To defend the life she has made, Molly must discover whether trust can exist without surrender. Theo must learn that love is not rescue, usefulness is not intimacy, and sometimes the bravest thing a man can do is knock—and wait.
Warm, sharply funny and emotionally rich, Notting Dale Neighbors is a slow-burn neighbours-to-lovers romance about consent, community, found family and the quiet courage of letting someone in.

Perfect for readers who love handwritten notes, thin walls, practical tenderness, fiercely protective aunties, emotionally mature romance and neighbourhoods that slowly become home.
