Totally Opposite by Nellie Holloday

I wanted small- town bliss, not a grumpy outdoorsman, his Great Dane, and a front-row seat to chaos.

Running a small-town café should come with predictable problems.

Like burnt scones, quirky customers, and the occasional small town drama.

Not Eric Middleton moving in next door.

He’s my brother’s best friend, my sworn enemy and a gorgeous grump in flannel.

And the one person I can’t stop thinking about.

We’re forced into each other’s world by one mischievous dog, and a string of chaotic mishaps.

They say opposites attract, but do they survive dog-induced chaos?

I’d rather stick to what’s safe: running Riverside Cafe, and keeping my heart under lock and key.

But every splash, snark, and stolen glance pulls us closer.

And despite my best efforts to stay in the safe lane, I’m falling—hard.

Falling for my next-door nemesis is risky.
But not telling him how I feel means losing him forever.

Featured Book: Completely Opposite by Nellie Holloday

Later, after the dishes are done and the house falls into that soft, sleepy hush, I step out onto the porch. The air smells like pine and a hint of grilled corn, and somewhere a coyote yips into the night before settling back into silence.
I sink into the porch swing, pulling my knees close, and stare out at the stars. They’re sharp and scattered tonight, like someone flung a handful of diamonds across black velvet.
Emma’s words from earlier echo in my head: “You can’t outrun something that’s already in your heart.”
I think about Maisie’s tearful eyes, the way Jack’s voice cracked just a little when he said don’t leave us, and how his hand brushed mine when he helped clear the table, quick, accidental, but enough to make something deep inside me ache.
I close my eyes, and in the silence, the truth settles heavy and sure.
I want to belong here, more than I should, more than I planned.
But wanting something this much only stirs the fear that surrounds me. And I can’t help wondering… am I strong enough to face it?
