Next Door Nuisance - A Grumpy x Sunshine Neighbors Romcom

Liam R. Whitaker

Beschreibung

When Ethan, a sarcastic night owl fresh off late shifts, moves into his new suburban house, he expects peace, quiet, and no neighbors meddling in his life. What he gets instead is Oliver the cheerful early riser next door who thinks muffins can fix anything and lawn-mowing at dawn is a community service.

Their rivalry sparks instantly, fueled by noise complaints, sarcastic fence-side remarks, and the ever-watchful eyes of the neighborhood watch committee convinced they’re secretly more than neighbors. But when a forced partnership in the block’s annual fundraiser pushes them together, sarcasm collides with sunshine in ways neither expected.

Between chaotic bake sales, meddling gossip, and power outages softened by candlelight confessions, Ethan begins to see that Oliver’s relentless optimism hides its own cracks. And Oliver discovers that Ethan’s sharp tongue might just protect a heart more fragile than he lets on.

As fences both literal and emotional start coming down, what began as nuisance turns into something tender, awkwardly hilarious, and surprisingly necessary.

Can two opposites stop waging war long enough to realize they might be exactly what the other needs?

Eryx is part of a team of scientists charged with monitoring and protecting relocated animals on a privately owned planet. When sensors indicate poachers, Eryx leaves base to confront them, only to lose his way in a sudden snow. After trudging to a nearby observation station for shelter, he comes across an unexpected intruder.

The two can't possibly trust each other, but storm projections show they'll be stuck together for days. Worse, the poachers aren't letting a little inclement weather stop them, and they're armed and ready to kill. Can Leander and Eryx put aside their differences and save the animals -- and themselves -- before something disastrous happens?

That is, until his upstairs neighbor Abel Walters dies on the staircase just outside Wyatt's door.
 
Saalik has spent most of his existence asleep and waiting for the next person to discover his bottle and claim their wishes. And the last four years playing prized possession to Abel Walters and spying on the downstairs neighbors. But he has a plan. And, like every plan worth planning, it has taken patience. But if life as a Jinn has taught Saalik nothing else, it's taught him that.
 
When a break-in sends Wyatt out his second-story bedroom window and into his dead upstairs neighbor's apartment, he finds more than a place to hide. He discovers a magical solution to all his troubles.
 
Or does he? Because really, when is life ever that simple?

It's the middle of a very cold December, and Charlie Mayburn is in desperate need of a seasonal night manager at his self-storage facility. When he comes across a résumé from his childhood sweetheart, Lonnie "Mack" McDaniel, he's beyond surprised. Mack left right after high school, determined to see the world and abandoning both Charlie and their small town for greener pastures. So what's he doing back twenty years later?
As he's desperate and Mack is the most qualified applicant, Charlie hires him on the spot, along with leasing him a ten-by-ten unit. Mack does good work, but something's off about him. He's very secretive, often bedraggled, and has holes in his well-worn shoes. Definitely not the clean-cut Mack Charlie grew up with. 
When Charlie discovers, quite by accident, that Mack has been living in the storage unit he rented -- in the middle of winter -- he takes matters in hand. He offers Mack a place to stay, no strings attached. It takes some doing, but Charlie finally gets Mack to tell him how he ended up homeless. The tale almost breaks his heart, but Charlie is determined to take care of his long lost friend, no matter what. 
Perhaps this Christmas, both men can find their way through old hurts and forge a new beginning, with good will for all.
