Next to You

Stranded in a snowy cabin with my secret high school crush and only our steamy chemistry to keep us warm? Yes, please.

And all this because I wanted some tacos and a chance at happily ever after.

Five minutes into another terrible date, I realized I should have just stayed home.

After storming off with my take-out consolation prize, I ended up spinning my car into a snowbank.

A light dusting of snow-yeah, right.

Thankfully, my knight-in-shining-tow-truck arrives to save the day and rekindle my crush. But because nothing is ever easy, we are forced to seek shelter from the rapidly worsening weather.

Cut to me stuck in a picturesque snowy cabin with my secret high school crush and plenty of time on our hands. Things are looking up!

And it turns out he's always had a thing for me too. Who knew?

Spencer Cassidy might be a hot-as-sin mechanic who rebuilds cars for a living and spends his winters pulling tourists out of ditches, but he's also a gentleman-respectful, protective, and worried about taking advantage of me. So we agree not to start anything while we're trapped together.

But after years of dating non-committal boy-men and repeatedly having my heart broken, a chance with a real man like Spencer may be too tempting to resist.

NEXT TO YOU is a forced proximity, only one bed, small town romance. If you want a quick, lighthearted escape from reality with plenty of banter and spice, and a swoony happily ever after, grab a mug of hot chocolate and a cozy blanket and visit Honeybrook Hollow, Oregon.
