A short, warm rivals-to-lovers romance set on Auburn Avenue.

Look inside · First chapter

The landlord drew the line down the middle of the kitchen with blue painter’s tape. Nia got the left burners and the window. Andre got the right burners and the door to the alley. They split the walk-in cooler shelf by shelf, and by the end of the first week both of them had labeled every shelf in permanent marker.

Hungry the whole time

I made red rice after chapter two. The kitchen banter is so good.

Fun and quick

Read it in one evening. Andre and Nia arguing over the walk-in shelf is my favorite scene.

About the author

Maya Bellamy

I taught middle-school choir in DeKalb County for nine years, and I still hum when I write. My books are set in the Atlanta I grew up in: Sunday dinners that run long, porches where people say the true thing after dark, and neighbors who know your business before you do. I write slow-burn romance about grown people with jobs, bills and family opinions. Nobody in my books falls for a stranger at an airport. They fall for the person who shows up with a casserole and a ladder. I live in East Point with my husband, my mother-in-law and a very loud beagle named Deacon.
