A thin wall, a DIY disaster, and an unwanted alliance

Penny Huff’s low opinion of her new neighbor Jack Craig is built from the sounds and smells that travel through their apartment wall, along with a scene she associates with his arrival. When Penny’s effort to soundproof the wall leaves a hole, the neighbors are pushed into a shared repair project. As pranks escalate and eviction becomes a concern, their antagonism gives way to romantic sparks. The premise brings domestic friction and forced proximity together in a contemporary New York apartment setting, with the damaged wall serving as the catalyst for both conflict and connection.

Book overview

"Enemies-to-lovers perfection combined with unforgettable banter and non-stop laughter. I couldn't put it down!"--USA Today bestselling author Marni Mann

Penny Huff and Jack Craig are neighbors by floor plan...and enemies by choice.

Thanks to a tragically thin wall in their NYC apartment building, Penny knows far too much about Jack--like his taste in too-loud music, the noxious fumes from his kitchen, and his habit of suspiciously aggressive vacuuming. And she knows all about the tearful brunette fleeing his apartment the day he moved in--the one crying about her cheating ex. Not even Jack's piratical charm can undo what Penny knows: the man is bad news.

When her attempt to get the wall soundproofed literally blows a hole in it, the two are forced into a DIY disaster that traps them in each other's lives...and spaces. With eviction looming, prank wars escalating, and unexpected sparks flying, Penny starts to suspect her insufferable neighbor might just be the plot twist her love life needs.

Packed with witty banter, laugh-out-loud moments, and sizzling tension, this fast-paced romantic comedy proves that love can bloom where drywall--and patience--have crumbled.
