NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Two feuding second-grade teachers (and neighbors) find themselves teaming up in this new rivals-to-lovers romance set in Rome, Kentucky—from the New York Times bestselling author of The Rule Book and Practice Makes Perfect.
“Sarah Adams writes books with heart and soul. They speak to the people finding their way and being unapologetically themselves in the process. I love her style.”—Hannah Grace, author of Icebreaker
Emily Walker hates having her carefully crafted world disrupted by anyone, most of all her legendary nemesis, Jack Bennett. He’s the opposite of the wonderful heroes she dreams up in her double life as a romance writer, which is why Emily was perfectly happy when Jack left Rome, Kentucky, mid-school year with his fiancée. The last thing Emily saw coming was Jack’s return at the start of the summer after calling off the wedding and ending his relationship, but he’s here to stay—as her colleague and her neighbor.
Jack is glad to be back, eager to renovate his house and work on the next mystery novel under his bestselling pen name. But when he realizes he’s now neighbors with the one woman who has always pushed his buttons, he discovers something he’s even more excited about—thwarting Emily and her petty plans to sabotage his return.
With their chemistry-fueled animosity at an all-time high, Emily accidentally sends an email to their school’s principal that could reveal her secret literary side hustle. She needs to steal back her manuscript, and Jack—she hates to admit—is just the man to help her. Surprisingly, he agrees. Will their unlikely alliance put an end to their rivalry? Or could it lead to a steamy plot twist they never saw coming?

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
“Love thy neighbour” is easier said than done in this funny romance. Emily has hated Jack since he spilled coffee on her blouse during their first day in college. And she didn’t like him any better after they began teaching at the same school in her hometown of Rome, Kentucky. When Jack moves away to get married, Emily thinks he’s finally out of her life, but weeks later, he not only calls off the wedding but returns to Rome and buys the house next door. Is it possible that desire lurks behind their rivalry, or that Jack could help Emily realize her dream of becoming an author? Sarah Adams makes the push and pull between love and aggravation truly entertaining, as well as mixing in delightful local colour and some steamy scenes of passion. If you like enemies-to-lovers rom-coms, this one’s a winner.
