The Sunshine Next Door: A sweet enemies to lovers, forced proximity romance
Elsie Thorne
Dean Carter likes control—measured plans, clean lines, and plenty of space.
So when Lila Bennett returns to Maplewood Glen and moves in next door, the chaos she brings isn’t just inconvenient—it’s personal.
She’s all color, noise, and unpredictability. Worst of all? She’s off-limits.
Lila didn’t come home for Dean. But the grumpy neighbor who used to roll his eyes at her glitter trails isn’t just older now—he’s complicated. Steady in the ways she’s not. Wounded in ways she understands.
What starts as irritation, turns into lingering glances and long silences. Then a summer storm strands them with candlelight, and everything they’ve never said.
He knows getting close is a mistake. She’s not sure she can survive another heartbreak.
And Miss Maudie? She’s already penciled them in—because in Maplewood Glen, love spreads fast!
One grump. One ray of sunshine. One very thin fence between them.
Welcome to life with The Sunshine Next Door.
