Bella Pierce has always been a hopeless romantic. Obsessed with cheesy romance novels and Hallmark movies, she's always yearned for that special connection that everyone seems to find so easily.
Lincoln Montgomery is Bella's neighbor and worst enemy. His stupid smirk, charming mannerisms, and need to be the funniest person in the room has always rubbed Bella the wrong way.
Ever since the first grade when Lincoln moved in next door to Bella, it's been constant banter and bickering. Poking comments and non-stop insults, they really do seem to hate each other. They simply aren't compatible. But maybe one day...
This compelling story takes you on the journey of Lincoln and Bella, two rivals who may find out they have more interest in each other than they ever could have imagined.
