The last thing Emily saw coming was Jack's return at the start of the summer after calling off the wedding and ending his relationship, but he's here to stay -- as her colleague and her neighbor.

But when he realizes he's now neighbors with the one woman who has always pushed his buttons, he discovers something he's even more excited about -- thwarting Emily and her petty plans to sabotage his return. With their chemistry-fueled animosity at an all-time high, Emily accidentally sends an email to their school's principal that could reveal her secret literary side hustle. She needs to steal back her manuscript, and Jack -- she hates to admit -- is just the man to help her. Surprisingly, he agrees. Will their unlikely alliance put an end to their rivalry?
