Title: Achilles and the Boy Next Door
Adrian Brent is a physical therapist. He does his best to keep a peaceful life of solitude, and not just because he’s an introvert. Adrian’s real identity is actually Achilles, the Greek warrior from legend. For whatever reason, Achilles hasn’t aged a single day and, as a result, has experienced all manner of history, both violent and peaceful. Tired of all of the loss that unending life comes along with, Achilles would love nothing more than to work, make money, and live a quiet life. But these plans go out the window when a new neighbor moves into Adrian’s building.
This new neighbor is none other than vibrant and extroverted social media influencer Harper Holmes. Adrian doesn’t know him, but many people do, which leads to all manner of people coming and disrupting the peace, whether it be obsessive fans or raucous party-goers. Whoever Harper is, Adrian is ready for him to move along so he can go back to his quiet life. But no matter how hard Adrian tries, he can’t seem to escape Harper and all of his chaos. After an unexpected wrist injury to Harper ignites Adrian’s medical inclinations, the two end up spending far more time together than Adrian would prefer.
Unfortunately for Adrian, as they spend more time together, he finds himself drawn into Harper’s orbit. But can a man who lives forever allow himself to be hurt by love’s brevity once again? More importantly, can Adrian figure out why it seems Harper can read his very thoughts?
