Next to You

She swore off men. He'd given up on finding "the one." Then a blizzard changed everything. Lucy Darlington has had it with dating. After one too many disasters—including a first date that ends with a margarita to someone's face—she's done. Her man ban is ironclad. No exceptions. What she doesn't expect is to get stranded in the middle of a freak snowstorm with Spencer Cassidy, the quiet, hometown guy she's secretly admired since high school. Spencer has always noticed Lucy. He just never found the right moment to say so. Stuck together in a cozy cabin as the snow piles higher and the world outside goes quiet, he finally has all the time he never knew he needed—and a growing certainty that she might be everything he'd stopped believing in. Snowbound and reluctant, Lucy and Spencer discover that being stranded together is a lot less terrible than either of them expected. But when the roads clear and real life rushes back in, will what they found in the quiet of the storm be strong enough to survive the rest? Next to You is a cozy, warm small-town romance about the unexpected magic of being stuck in exactly the right place, with exactly the right person.
