The Neighbor

Daniel Mercer has spent his entire life in the same small town, fixing everyone else's problems while quietly ignoring his own. At forty-six, divorced, and content with a predictable routine, the last thing he needs is a new neighbor.

Especially one like Sadie Mayer.

She buys the century-old house across the street with dreams of restoring it, despite having no idea what she's doing. Within days she's broken windows, burst pipes, climbed ladders she shouldn't, and somehow found a way to become Daniel's most frustrating client.

He tells himself he's only helping because the house is a disaster.

She tells herself she only keeps calling because she's hopeless with home repairs.

Neither of them expects every sarcastic remark, every shared project, and every accidental touch to chip away at the walls they've spent years building.

Sometimes the biggest renovation isn't the house.
