Rivals-to-lovers

Black cat/golden raccoon. Small town. Secret identity. Forced proximity. Two rival second-grade teachers become unexpected allies (and neighbors) in this romantic story by Sarah Adams, author of "The Cheat Sheet" and "Practice Makes Perfect".

Emily Walker hates anyone who disrupts her carefully curated life, especially her nemesis, Jack Bennett - the exact opposite of the wonderful heroes she imagines in her double life as a romantic story writer. But now Jack is back in town after a failed engagement, and he's here to stay... as her colleague and neighbor.

Jack is happy to be back, eager to renovate his home and work on his next mystery novel under his best-selling pseudonym. Until he realizes he's neighbors with the one woman who always irritated him.

With their red-hot rivalry at its peak, Emily makes a mistake that could reveal her secret author identity. Fortunately, she needs Jack's help to fix it. Will their unexpected alliance put an end to their competition? Or could it lead to a steamy development they didn't expect?

Sarah Adams weaves her stories with pure sparkle and joy… It's everything you could want in a small-town romance, along with a dose of her signature humor and sparkle.
