What if you fell in love with your favorite author, even without ever seeing their face? What if—still without knowing their identity—they became your neighbor? A Little Favor from the Neighbor is a captivating and funny story about self-confidence and allowing yourself to be loved.
Lily Greene believes she has many reasons to feel like a failure: she hates her job, never gets her dream job, and dates insufferable guys. Despondent, Lily emails her favorite fantasy author, NR Strickland, with no hope of being noticed... until he responds. The email exchange sparks an intimate connection, but without any explanation, Strickland simply stops responding.
Heartbroken by someone she's never met, Lily decides to change the course of her life. First, she needs a date for one of her sisters' weddings. And she's certain the perfect person to help her with this mission is Nick Brown, her handsome, friendly, and excellent advisor neighbor—to whom she feels an undeniable attraction. However, after talking to the shy neighbor, Nick realizes they've met before, because he... well, he's NR Strickland.
Torn between his attraction to his neighbor and the urge to distance himself, Nick agrees to help her. But this little favor from his neighbor may be the most complicated of all—especially since Nick can't get Lily out of his head.
Lily and Nick will discover that love may be closer than they imagine. But will they be able to put their insecurities aside?
