Harlow Beach, California – Present Day

Budding interior home designer Grace Travis loves living in Harlow Beach. Her grandparents gifted her a small home there, but she has been unable to move in as she has been taking care of an old friend of theirs. Now she’s ready to move, but it will require baby steps as she is on a limited budget. As Grace is in the process of moving in, the next-door neighbor comes over to offer to buy it. Grace has no intention of selling…ever...to her neighbor, Noah Jansen, or anyone.

Noah loves the location of his house and is in the process of rebuilding it but would like to expand it. In order to do that, he needs the property next door. No one has lived in the rundown property during all the time he’s lived in his house, and he figures it would be an easy buy, especially if he offers good money. But Grace turns him down and instead, moves in. He annoys her and she annoys him. They have a love-hate relationship, even though they could actually help each other fix up their respective houses. After a home and garden magazine writer arrives to interview Noah and witnesses his interaction with Grace, the writer proposes a tempting offer. The two of them work together on the remodel of Noah’s home and she would give them both plenty of PR via a magazine article. It would do wonders for Grace’s career prospects. How can two people who don’t like each other work together?

Both Grace and Noah are determined to succeed in HOW TO LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR, but can they do it together? Noah’s family has all kinds of money, but his father wants to control what Noah does. Noah has moved to the west coast—away from his father—and sees a fresh start in Harlow Beach. His property would be perfect except for the land being small. He wants to expand, and the house next door should be his for the taking. However, Grace refuses to sell, so Noah embarks on a campaign of annoying her. It might work, except it turns out that they could be yin and yang. Because the promised publicity by being featured in an article is so tempting, they decide to work together. Will they kill each other before the project is done? Not when the sexual chemistry begins to heat up between them.

HOW TO LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR is a fun read that has the enemies-to-lovers vibes. After Grace moves in next door to Noah, the ‘intrusions on privacy” war begin, with plenty of grievances on each side. Yet even their friends can see the sexual tension between Noah and Grace, which results in plenty of teasing. How long will it take before they give in to the attraction? Will it end up with them making love—and not war? Will Noah’s house get finished? If you love a romance with some hot, sexy banter and fun times, then grab a copy of HOW TO LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR. You won’t be sorry.
