Excerpt
THE NOT SO MEET CUTE
When someone at the craps table beside me shouts, âYes!â I flick my gaze in that direction. Standing at the very end is a tall woman in tight black pants with the shapeliest ass.
Thereâs an untidy pile of flecked chips in front of her. A modest stack of chips is also nestled on the edge of the table.
Apparently, sheâs winning.
Curious, I watch as the woman makes the standard pass line bet. There are three shooters at the table, and they will each take a turn rolling the dice, although they will all be betting on each roll.
Not my game of choice.
No skill.
Just luck.
Sheâs first, so she grabs the dice, gives them a blow for luck, and rolls them both down the table in her come out roll.
I canât see the dice, but when she jumps up and down, I can only guess she rolled a seven or an eleven. Itâs still her turn, and when she does her little ritual with the dice again, I find it more than sexy. On this roll, if she rolls a two, three or twelve, she loses.
I feel like I want to cross my fingers for her.
Luck.
Itâs all about luck.
She jumps up and down again, and I know sheâs still in.
Roll after roll, sheâs kicking ass.
Now, Iâm holding my breath because sheâs on the point roll. The dealer turns the puck to âONâ and places it on the number that was just rolled. All she has to do is avoid a seven to keep going.
Sheâs still as the roll comes to a stop. I feel more emotion watching her than I did with everything I had on the line back at the blackjack table.
âBad luck,â I hear someone groan and watch as the pile of chips she had pushed forward disappears.
Shit!
She sevened-out. She practically sags at the table as the loss registers. Just then, the concierge hands me a receipt that acknowledges the transfer of my winnings, and shaking my head for her, I start to stride toward the exit.
Shouldnât play a game luck.
Somehow, she accidentally pushes the small remaining pile of chips under her arm onto the floor as Iâm passing behind her. Without a second thought, I find myself diving down to help her recover her money.
When my eyes meet her sparkling blue ones, I canât move, and all the breath is knocked squarely from my chest.
Elizabeth.
Itâs been ten years since I broke her heart, and shitâ¦
Little Liz Laurent is all grown up.

âI want you to remember, Faith,â he said softly. âI want you to remember all the good times and leave out the bad ones.â
âI donât think I get to pick and choose.â
âWe both did things we werenât proud of. Things that Iâd be happy for you to forget. But if it comes back to you, I want you to know that Iâm sorry. It was my fault.â
I wanted to ask him what weâd done, what awful things weâd put each other through. But I was afraid to know. Maybe, in some ways, my memory loss was a blessing. All the bad things had been wiped clean while for Will, he had to live with them each day, had to remember every word, every hurtful action.
I leant in closer and rested my head on his chest. At first his body stiffened, then he relaxed, put his arm around me and held me close.
We laid like that for a time while something skimmed the sky high above us.
âLook a shooting star,â he said.
âThe International Space Station.â
âShow off.â
I giggled. Then he bent his head, put his lips on mine and kissed me.

Jessica Goodwin. My next-door neighbour. The woman who unearthed the pleasant memories of my first and only crush.
She is single. Seductive. Occasionally sassy.
And my sworn enemy.
Although things could have been different between us if â¦
⦠I hadnât killed her cat on the very first day, she moved next door.
It was an accident.
Definitely an accident.
But due to my lack of emotions, it appeared otherwise.
Still, bad blood could have been averted. The unfortunate situation could be handled as adults.
But she made the ultimate mistake of calling me an animal and struck a nerve.
Now, Iâm in a war against her. Which, according to my niece, Frankie, is a petty rivalry from my side only, and I should stop making a fool of myself.
If only I would be able to do just that.
Iâm a typical sociopath who just has to put people down for his own fulfillment.
A ruthless, vengeful, most anti-social, outlaw, son of a bitch who has nothing but time on his hand and skills to make her life a living hell.
But to my surprise, there were some feelings left, or itâs she who has awoken them along with my cock.
Why else would I steal glances of her?
True, she is sexy as hell. Crafted by God himself on a Sunday with a mold that has since been broken.
But that canât be the reason enough for me to pull down my sunglasses down the bridge of my nose, stare at her un-blinked, and while enjoying the view, whisper to myself âHey Neighbour.â
Or could it?
âHey Neighbourâ is an enemies-to-friends-to-lovers romantic comedy featuring a quirky alpha living a recluse life and the girl next door who would make him want to live differently. Itâs a full-length standalone romance with no cheating or cliffhanger and ends with a guaranteed HEA.

âNobody has come this close to beat me, Jessica. You should be proud of yourself.â
Sitting in my bra and panties across Odin, it doesnât make me feel this way. I was proud at the start, though, when after binge-watching poker videos for five hours, I learned enough to win four hands straight, leaving him down to his underwear.
I was surprised at myself, thought of it as a beginner's luck, but the tide changed, and begun Odinâs streak of wins, which led me to believe that it was all a ruse.
A con I was roped in.
A bait I took.
âFull house.â I put my cards down at the tableâmy best hand for the eveningâsure that despite playing against an experienced player, Iâll win and save myself from the humiliation.
Odin glance at his cards and crinkles form on his forehead.
A smile floats on my face; he doesnât have the cards to beat me. At last, the mighty has fallen.
He sighs. âWell played, Jessica.â
âYes!â I shout, raising my hands in victory as if the Cubs have won the Super Bowl.
âStraight flush!â he says, spreading his cards on the table.
My hands fall down like a lifeless bird from the sky, and my mouth opens wide with shock.
I lost. No matter which article of clothing I lose, Iâll still be leaving my dignity behind even if I win the next hand.
âOh, Jessica. You are so gullible. Itâs only you and me here. No matter if I get naked or you, it would still be my win.â
âSo, would you consider accepting the defeat and strip naked?â
âYeah, sure.â He scoffs. âDoes a hunter let go of his prey if it says pretty please?ââHe rubs his hand togetherââGo on, then.â
I will have to remove one article of clothing, and I choose my panties.
My thinking is straight. Iâll quickly slide down my panties and close my legs, shutting the view, thereby giving myself a fighting chance to keep my bra on.
As I put my hand on the string of my panties, Odin waves his finger in a no. âNuh-uh! Bra.â
âWhat? Why?!â
âWinner's choice. We agreed on it before we began playing.â
âBut you havenât exercised this right the whole night. Why suddenly now?â
He rubs his palm across his chest like a sleazeball. âBecause I desperately want to see your boobs bare. I am fascinated by themâespecially the mole on your heart.â
âWas ogling them under the constellations not enough for you?â
âAha! So, you did see me glaring at them that night?â
âIt was hard not to when you were acting like a pervert.â
âNow, I donât have to.â He takes his face in his hands and props his elbows on the table as if he is waiting for the trailer launch of the next Avenger movie.
âIs this really what you want?â Crossing my fingers, I try my luck one more time.
A perverted smile forms on his face. âOh, absolutely. I may keep your leopard bra as a souvenir too. You look good in leopard, by the wayâ¦â He roars like a tiger. ââ¦very fierce. But I am sure youâll look much better without it.â
âPervert!â I mumble, reaching my hand behind my back, and close my eyes. I canât look at him, seeing me like a piece of meat. Uncomfortably, I unhook my bra, remove my arms through the straps, and drop it down to my lap. âAre you happy now? Take a good look at them.â Because you are never going to see them again. âYou tricked me into doing this. Iâll never forget this, Odin.â
No lewd remarks. Not a word in admiration. Has his heart stopped? They are a set of boobsânot a Pandora box.
I open my eyes, hoping, he must be in a heavenly state, drooling all over the table, but I find him missing. The chair across me is empty.
He has expressly stated his infatuation with my boobs by his stares, and today, by his words. Must be plotting for long to see them bare. And now, that his desire has come true, he is nowhere to be found.
A white towel descends from above, against the front of my body. I turn my head slightly and see Odin standing behind me, wrapping me up.
But why?
I donât understand this person.
He gently grazes my face with his fingers as if he is appreciative of me being here. Then, he leans down and kisses me on the top of my head. âNot like this.â
