Right Next Door

Proximity Book One

Sometimes the person you can't stand is the person you can't stop thinking about.

The Story

Sometimes hatred isn't quite what it seems.

Ren had never liked the guys next door.

The first time he had met his neighbor, Miles, the door had been shut in his face. Offended by the rude interaction, Ren’s hatred for Miles was born, and he thought anyone willing to live with Miles had to be just as horrible, so his dislike extended to Miles’s roommate, Logan.

When Ren’s best friend, Hale, begins dating Logan at the start of their senior year, Ren has to come to terms with Hale dating someone he’s spent years despising. Worst of all, he’s forced to spend time with the neighbors he hates.

While Ren is stubborn and refuses to believe his first impression was incorrect, he realizes there is more to Miles than he originally thought, and begins to learn that their mutual hatred for each other isn’t quite what it seems.

Behind the Cover

How the cover came together.

I design my own book covers, and I am not at all an artist, so I explore many different ideas before settling on the final design. Here are some of the alternate concepts that helped shape the cover of Right Next Door.

Reader Reviews

What readers are saying

“I really enjoyed reading this book. It was a fun story with a shocking end. I sure hope there is a sequel!”

— Amazon reader

“I truly loved reading this book. Even though I usually prefer 1st person and dual POV, I enjoyed reading it. I am so fond of the characters. But now I want to read more about Miles and Ren HEA. I guess we'll see more of them in Hale's book. The ending was so good with the cliffhanger, but maybe I would've loved to read more of their date. I can't wait to read what's next.”
