Neighbors
with Benefits
(Anderson Brothers #2)

Marissa Clarke
About
the Book:
CEO
Michael Anderson might
be something of a “control freak.” Still, he’s not quite sure
why his therapist thinks dogsitting will fix anything―especially
since he and the canine share a kind of mutual loathing. And to make
matters worse, a house sitter moves in next door disrupting his
peace—and his dates—with the worst possible music at the worst
possible time… every time.
Free-spirited
artist Mia Argaropolis has settled into the perfect gig—housesitting
in NYC’s Upper West Side while working as an art therapist. Too bad
she’s stuck living next door to a bossy control freak with a
penchant for calling building security when she blasts music to drown
out the noises coming through his bedroom wall.
Post-apocalyptic
dinner rolls that nearly take her kitchen with them, a douchebag ex,
and a Shih Tzu with the personality of Godzilla attack Mia in one
day, and her unlikely neighbor comes to the rescue. Like it was her
fault. And now, somehow, they find themselves engaged? Both agree,
this neighborly feud just got taken to a whole new level.

“It’s all about the dress,” she said.
He caught her elbow and turned her to face him. “It’s about the woman in the dress. The woman I want out of the dress. The woman who is beautiful no matter what she wears,” he added, releasing her arm. “Stop selling yourself short. No pretense. No masks, remember?”
The specks on his tie blurred and she blinked rapidly until her vision cleared. “Yes.” Up this close, she realized the red on the tie wasn’t specks, but the fins on tiny, geometric, interlocking fish—like an Escher painting. Complex and organized, just like the man. Something completely different when observed from a distance than when up close.

Excerpt
“You look beautiful,” he said, leaning against thesupport beam of the porch, looking all but edible in his suit and a tie with tiny red specks that matched her dress. He’d planned that out, not doubt. Always the planner.
“It’s all about the dress,” she said.
He caught her elbow and turned her to face him. “It’s about the woman in the dress. The woman I want out of the dress. The woman who is beautiful no matter what she wears,” he added, releasing her arm. “Stop selling yourself short. No pretense. No masks, remember?”
The specks on his tie blurred and she blinked rapidly until her vision cleared. “Yes.” Up this close, she realized the red on the tie wasn’t specks, but the fins on tiny, geometric, interlocking fish—like an Escher painting. Complex and organized, just like the man. Something completely different when observed from a distance than when up close.
