New apartments should come with a trial period…
I’ve just signed a two-year lease on an apartment I can barely afford.
My job hit a brick wall so I need the place to be perfect to help me get my life back on track. But the first night in, and I already know my neighbor isn’t going to make it easy on me.
Tall, sexy, irresistible (and did I mention the British accent?), Shane Logan likes his nightly activities…a lot. I can hear everything through the paper-thin walls. I’m about to tell him that in not-so-friendly terms when I realize he isn’t just sexy, he’s also friendly and eager to be of help.
Maybe having a neighbor like him isn’t such a bad idea.
I’m a writer in desperate need of inspiration. Shane so happens to turn into mine. With a deadline approaching fast, his offer to do me a favor turns into two and three. Before I know it, he’s forced his way into my life with the tenacity of a whirlwind.
I can deal with the fact that he’s far too loud and far too sexy. But when my dog likes him more than me, I start to get a little suspicious. Soon it becomes clear Shane Logan has secrets.
Plunged into the suspicions surrounding my neighbor, suddenly the only thing I can be sure of is that Shane is fiercely determined to hide the truth about himself.
Remember when I said the lease should have come with a warning?
Well, mine should also have come with a big, red, flashing signal.
Author’s note – Neighbors and Favors is a full-length romantic comedy with no cliffhanger.

EXCERPT
“Relax, sweetheart. I don’t want your dog.” In spite of his reassurance, he inches a step forward, bringing me closer to those impossibly good looks of his, and reaches to pat Sammy on her head.Everyone with a little bit of brain capacity knows you should never pat a stranger’s dog on the head. Sammy doesn’t like that. In fact, she’s known to yap and bite a finger or two. Well, maybe sometimes.“Don’t,” I yell and move to snatch her out of his reach when my fluff ball decides she’s going to make an exception for a change and begins to lick his hand.I mean, really lick, like you would lap at a cone of ice cream in the summer heat.For a moment, I can only stare in disbelief. Sammy has never done that before, at least not to a complete stranger.My half-naked neighbor begins to laugh and leans forward, bringing his face close to Sammy’s head. I glare, half flabbergasted, half annoyed, as she begins to wriggle in my arms, excited to jump right into his.What the—“Sammy, no!” I snap, sounding a little bitter. I want to say, “I’m your mommy, and you’re not supposed to like the half-naked, rainstorm-eyed guy who makes mommy very angry.”But I don’t want to come across as one of those crazy people who think their pet comes with a lifelong affection exclusivity clause—even though I’m pretty sure they should, actually. I mean, you feed them, you give them a roof over their head…it goes without saying that…you get the drift.
