On the First of Never: A Small Town Enemies to Lovers Romance

Noah Harlowe has everything he’s ever wanted. Friends, a solid business partner, a popular gastropub and music venue in the heart of his hometown of Cedar Springs, and plenty of women interested in dating him. But he is not interested in them. Not after the last heartbreak he went through. Work is his one true love, and he likes it that way.

Allison Stenvall is completely burned out from her life as a teacher and from a series of failed relationships. She's ready for something new—opening a paint and sip venue in downtown Cedar Springs. She just knows this will be the healing new beginning she craves, until music comes blasting through the walls. When she goes next door to ask her new neighbor to keep it down, she meets Noah. Sure, he's charming and handsome, but she's signed a three-year lease on her new dream and no one is going to mess that up for her.

Noah is determined to stay single, but he can't stop thinking about her. Allison is sure Noah is just another romantic mistake waiting to happen. But no matter how much she tries to tell herself she hates him, she doesn't seem able to stay away.
