A Library Journal Romance Pick of the Month Bestselling author Olivia Dade welcomes you to
Harlot’s Bay in this delightfully sexy rom-com about a woman who buys the town's famous Spite
House only to realize the infuriating man she can't stand lives right next door—and their
unwilling proximity might spark something neither can ignore. When Athena Greydon’s fiancé ends
their engagement she has no choice but to move into the Spite House she recklessly bought him
as a wedding gift. Which is a problem for several reasons: The house originally built as a
brick middle finger to the neighbors is only ten feet wide. Her ex’s home is literally
attached to hers. And Dr. Matthew Vine the Freaking Third—AKA the uptight judgy jerk who
convinced his younger brother to leave her—is living on her other side only a four-foot alley
away. If she has to see Matthew every time she looks out her windows she might as well have
some fun with the situation. By say playing erotic audiobooks at top volume with those
windows open. A woman living in a Spite House is basically obligated to get petty payback
however she can right? Unfortunately loathing Matthew proves more difficult than anticipated.
He helps her move. He listens. And he’s kind of…hot? Dammit. Matthew may not regret ending his
brother's engagement but he does regret what the breakup has done to Athena. He'll help her
however he can. If that means finding her work fine. If that means enduring nightly steamy
story hours so be it. And if that means watching Athena through their windows a bit too often
and caring about her a bit too much…well nothing can come of it. She’ll never forgive him.
Even if she did how could he ever tell his beloved younger brother the truth—that Matthew
wants the very same woman he encouraged Johnny to leave?
