New York Times bestselling author Emma Chase is back with this red-hot romantic comedy about two rival real estate developers who inherit the same lucrative property. There’s just one catch: they have to live in it…together.

Block 42 Lot 17 is the most coveted oceanfront property in Shore Haven, and both Damon Burke and Jade Buchanan are certain it’s already theirs.

The elderly owner, Clarabelle Spicket, promised it to Damon. She also promised it to Jade. Awkward…

Now thanks to a provision in the will, the town’s coldest real estate shark and its fiercest power player are forced to spend the next four months living there together or else they forfeit the property.

Even worse, the dilapidated beachfront mansion seems determined to shove them into the same room—and the same bed. As wills clash, tempers flare and walls crumble…so do their defenses.

It’s a bad idea to get too close to your enemy. To care about them, need them, desperately want them.

But when rivalry turns into something far more than either of them ever expected, Damon and Jade discover that love can be a very good bad idea.

Perfect for fans of The Hating Game and Beach Read.

These days one rarely gets a story that’s tight and edited well, that makes you laugh at and cry for characters, that engages you throughout the book and still follows a well-trodden trope of forced proximity and enemies to lovers. The narration was perfect. One of my top audiobooks this year!

Funny and heartfelt
