Needing the Next-Door Neighbor: A Sweet Romantic Comedy

When love moves in next door, can a nanny resist her charming older boss?

My next-door neighbor, Ryan Rosche, is the daydream I never saw coming. A dashing doctor—yes, that’s right—he’s humble, mature, and let’s not forget, absolutely swoon-worthy.

If only he wasn’t also my boss.

As the nanny for his adorable nieces, I’ve got my hands full enough without trying to navigate this undeniable attraction. I could blame my chaotic life: a recent move, a messy public breakup, and a career that’s gone from promising to puzzling overnight.

And don’t get me started on my grandmother, who’s holding my trust fund hostage until I find a way to be “respectable”—a daunting task I’m determined to avoid, especially if it means following in my mother’s less-than-stellar footsteps.

But the chemistry with Doctor Ryan is electric, and when I unexpectedly end up living with him, everything changes. Late-night binge sessions, shared meals, and chaotic playdates with his nieces blur the lines of professionalism and make my heart race. With each shared laugh and lingering glance, resisting him feels more impossible.

My heart warns me he might be a beautiful disaster waiting to happen, but how do I fight what feels so right? As I navigate my feelings, can I really afford to fall for my boss—or will this whirlwind romance make me the happiest I’ve ever been?
