Next to You

Tori Edwards is making a fresh start. The last thing she needs is to run into a blast from her past. But the way her luck runs, of course that’s exactly what happens. Her first day moving into her new apartment, she discovers her neighbour is Connor Morgan, the guy she had a hopeless crush on back in high school. The same guy who was part of a cruel prank she’s never fully forgotten. Though it’s been over a decade, and she may have blossomed physically, inside, she still feels like the same awkward, insecure girl she was back then.

This is Connor Morgan’s lucky day. His new neighbour is a beautiful woman. And she’s single. Except she seems to take an immediate dislike to him, and he can’t figure out why. Nor why there’s something about her that seems familiar, despite the fact that she insists they’ve never met before.

Tori tries to keep her distance from Connor, but it’s difficult when he lives next door. And it doesn’t help that she’s just as attracted to him as she was as a teenager. Maybe even more. As the sparks fly, can Tori learn to trust him? Or is the past too much for them to overcome?
