Sometimes love shows up with a badge, a grudge… and a goat.
Kendall Grant has three unbreakable rules for surviving small-town property management: don’t get attached to tenants, don’t let the HOA bully you, and absolutely avoid Officer Jackson Ryder, her grumpy, rule-obsessed ex who broke her heart.
Too bad rule #3 goes out the window when her newest tenant turns out to be… a goat. A very illegal goat.
Enter Officer Jax, her high school ex and the grumpy, annoyingly hot cop who broke her heart when he chose the police academy over their future. Now he’s the one responding to her farm animal fiasco, armed with a clipboard full of obscure ordinances and a whole lot of unresolved tension.
But when a series of petty pranks and escalating sabotage threaten Kendall’s reputation, and her safety, Jax is ordered to keep watch. Which means living across the hall. All. The. Time.
Between late-night stakeouts, hallway run-ins, and goat-induced chaos, old sparks begin to reignite. And Kendall starts to wonder if the boy who once walked away might just be the man worth breaking all her rules for.
