Not Good Neighbors

When Penny Huff's attempt to soundproof the paper-thin wall between her NYC apartment and her insufferable new neighbor's ends in an actual hole in the drywall, she has to admit: this is not her finest moment.

Penny already knows more about Jack Craig than she ever wanted to—his taste for ear-splitting music, the suspicious smells drifting from his kitchen, and his bafflingly aggressive vacuuming habits. Worst of all, she witnessed the tearful brunette fleeing his apartment on move-in day, sobbing about a cheating ex. No amount of piratical charm—and Jack has plenty—can erase what Penny knows: the man is trouble wrapped in a very attractive package.

But now there's a fist-sized hole between their living rooms and a landlord who refuses to fix it, which means these two sworn enemies are about to become very reluctant DIY partners. Forced into close quarters with power tools neither of them should be trusted with, Penny starts to notice things that complicate her carefully constructed opinion of Jack. Things like his actual laugh. His surprisingly thoughtful gestures. The way the cheating-ex story might not be quite the one she invented.

*Not Good Neighbors* is a wickedly funny contemporary romance that proves the thinnest walls make the most dangerous proximity. If you love sharp banter, slow-burning tension, and the deeply satisfying moment when two people stop fighting everything but each other, this one belongs at the top of your list.
