The Man Next Door

"Ellen James writes with warmth, wit and style. I look forward to each new book." Debbie Macomber

Michael Turner is the man next door and he's got problems!

He's an ex–cop turned P.I., who's pretending to be a writer.

His partner, normally the most rational of women, is pretending she's pregnant.

His eleven–year–old son whom he loves isn't pretending anything, but then, the boy's barely talking to him.

His father whom he loathes (no pretence here) is back in town.

And to top it all, he's becoming dangerously attracted to the woman next door, a woman he's been paid investigate, a woman who just might be pretending that she hasn't murdered her husband.
