The Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Mariana Zapata

The Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Mariana Zapata is a masterclass in slow-burn romance, filled with tension, grit, and heart. Vanessa Mazur thought she was done being the overworked assistant to the silent, ungrateful football legend Aiden Graves. She had plans—big ones—and none of them involved folding his laundry or managing his moods. But when Aiden, the “Wall of Winnipeg” himself, shows up at her door asking her to come back, everything changes.

What begins as a professional arrangement takes an unexpected turn when Aiden proposes something that blurs every line between duty and desire. As Vanessa navigates loyalty, ambition, and an emotion she swore she’d never feel for him, she discovers that behind Aiden’s unshakable exterior lies a story—and a heart—worth knowing.

In The Wall of Winnipeg and Me, Mariana Zapata delivers a slow-building, deeply emotional love story about growth, trust, and the courage it takes to start over.
