The Jerkhole Next Door: An Enemies to Lovers Romance

Mezz McEvans leaving town was the best thing that ever happened to me, then he took the MMA world by storm with the longest undefeated winning streak on record. Life was great. Mezz was gone. The house next door was empty…

Until it wasn't. When Mezz lost his first fight, he decided to call it quits.

Guess where he's deciding to settle down for his early retirement?

I wish I was kidding. But it gets worse. He's not satisfied just moving next door to his "old pal". The whole town worships him, so when he wants a job working beside me, he gets it. When he wants the eggs off my freaking plate, he gets them. And when he wants to be more than neighbors?

That's when he gets my middle finger.

He may have the whole town of Dorfville eating right out of his calloused hands. But me? I say fences make great neighbors. Now I just wish he'd stop offering to fix mine without a shirt on. Or finding excuses to wind up on the wrong side of it.

Mezz:

Ilia Romans? Yeah, I’ve always had a thing for her, but don’t tell her I said that. I like to play with my food before I eat it.
