How My Neighbour Stole Christmas by Meghan Quinn

How My Neighbour Stole Christmas — Annotated Edition

A incredibly steamy, hilarious, forced proximity, small town festive romantic comedy about fake-dating your neighbor.

She needs a date.
He needs to annoy her.

And somehow… this turns into a deal neither of them can walk away from.

Living next door to someone you can’t stand?
Already bad.

Being forced to *pretend* you like them?
Worse.

But when Christmas rolls around and everything gets a little too… complicated, fake dating starts to feel a little less fake.

Because beneath the arguments, the tension, and the “I absolutely hate you” energy…

There’s something else.

And it’s getting harder to ignore.
