Side by Side (Side by Side #1)

Chris Wright has one shot at his dream.

After years of late nights and countless revisions, an agent finally takes notice of Chris’s novel—but with one he has a tight deadline to deliver a major rewrite. With bills stacking up and no extra time to pick up more shifts, Chris feels like he's barely holding his life together.

Then, fate throws him a curveball in the form of Mia.

Mia, his former high school nemesis—the gorgeous, untouchable girl he spent years feuding with—has just moved in next door. Despite their rocky past, both of them are now facing similar struggles to make ends meet. In an unexpected twist, they find themselves relying on each other. As they grow closer, Chris realizes that publishing his novel isn’t the only thing he’s racing toward. He’s falling for the one girl he never thought he’d get close to.

Will chasing his dream cost him his heart—or lead him to everything he’s ever wanted?
