I Knew He Was Trouble (Sweeter Than Fiction Book 1)

When Kelsey's insufferable neighbor Tyler shows up at her door with a job offer, her first instinct is to slam it in his face — but the salary he's proposing could fund the dog rescue she's been dreaming about for years.

Tyler has always been a disaster wrapped in charm: blaring music before sunrise, zero regard for basic neighborly decency, and a talent for getting under Kelsey's skin like no one else. Even her dogs have the good sense to distrust him. So when he suddenly becomes the unexpected guardian of his young niece and desperately needs a live-in nanny, Kelsey should absolutely say no. She says yes anyway.

Moving into Tyler's home was supposed to be strictly professional. Instead, it's a full-scale war. The banter is relentless, the pranks escalate faster than either of them anticipated, and the chaos of their new living arrangement keeps things delightfully unpredictable. But somewhere between the prank war and the late-night conversations and watching Tyler fumble his way into becoming someone his niece can count on, Kelsey's carefully maintained grudge starts to crack.

*I Knew He Was Trouble* is a laugh-out-loud, clean romantic comedy that proves the person who irritates you most might just be the one who knows you best. If you love witty banter, reluctant attraction, and romances that warm your heart without crossing a line, this series starter belongs on your shelf.
