Sinopsis

In the Ubari Sand Sea in 2011, during the First Libyan Civil War, a mysterious pilot falls from the sky – a sky devil – and is forever changed by the little boy who rescues him.
One year later, in the town of Roseville, Louisiana, in the aftermath of economic crisis and corporate environmental damage, 10-year-old Lenny Lockhart is losing the people and things dearest to him. His only friends now are his plucky, elderly neighbour, Miss Julie, and the town's lonely librarian, Lucy Albert. Homeless and neglected, Lenny heads deep into the dark and unpredictable bayou, determined to conquer the sinkhole that is threatening to swallow his town. As time seems to be simultaneously slowing down and running out, is it really Lenny who needs saving, or the broken adults in his life?
As these two timelines converge, Lenny tells a deeply affecting story of family and love, the ways we can be kind, and the power of one boy's imagination to heal and survive.

    Aiden Shaw is the smuggest, most infuriating man I’ve ever met. Ever. He’s also my next door neighbor. 
    We’ve been at war for four bitter years. But last night, Aiden crossed a line. 
    The worst part? My public humiliation was caught on camera, and the video’s a viral sensation. 
    Now, the entire internet is raving about our “off the charts chemistry” and “crackling sexual tension.” 
    Apparently, everyone is delusional. And blind. 
    Yet when Aiden turns up on my doorstep, asking me to pose as his girlfriend, I find myself saying yes. Even if that means taking a couples vacation with him. Yup, couples vacation. With my mortal enemy. Who I have to pretend to be madly in love with. 
    Great. 
    I can put our war on ice for a little while, Aiden Shaw. 
    But in the end, someone’s gotta lose. 
    And it’s not going to be me. 
    The Neighbor War is a laugh-out-loud funny, swoony, closed door romantic comedy. Expect some mild language and suggestive jokes alongside sizzling hot chemistry and tension you could cut with a knife—all without the explicit scenes.

    Love has its own playbook, and they’re both about to be blindsided. 
    I’ve landed in Denver as a backup goalie—a huge step down from the starting position I’m used to. Uprooting my two young kids after losing their mom wasn’t in the plan. I thought I could ease the sting by hitting the reset button and maybe channeling a bit of my younger, single self. But the dating game? I’m rusty. Then I meet Mia Morales—the stunning agent helping me find our new home. She’s smart, beautiful, and way out of my league. With her fiery spirit, she makes me feel things I haven’t in a long time. 
    Mia’s got her own baggage—work burnout, family drama. She’s wary, keeping me firmly in the “client” zone, and I can’t blame her. My fumbling attempts at charm don’t help. But every time we’re together, it’s like the pull between us gets stronger, no matter how much she resists. 
    Just as things heat up, my mother-in-law shows up with her own ideas about what’s best for my family. And Mia? She’s fighting battles I don’t fully understand. But I can’t shake this feeling—she’s the one I’ve been waiting for, and I’m not about to let her go. 
    The question isn’t if we’ll make it work—but if we’ll survive the heartache we risk just by trying.
