The Other Side of the Door

One door leads to "I Do." The other leads to "Rest in Peace." What could possibly go wrong? Claire Beaumont is a walking explosion of glitter, yellow sundresses, and toxic optimism. As a wedding planner, her life is dedicated to "Happily Ever Afters." But when she moves her boutique into a new office, she realizes she‘s broken the golden rule of real estate: Location is everything. Her new neighbor is Victor Vale—a man who is basically a walking rain cloud. He‘s a funeral director who wears black on black, speaks in existential dread, and thinks joy is a temporary glitch in the system. The War of the Storefronts has begun. When Claire‘s pink "Love is in the Air" balloons accidentally float into Victor‘s somber funeral service, it‘s war. But when the local Mayor threatens to shut down Victor‘s "gloomy" business for not being "vibrant" enough, Victor is forced to do the unthinkable: ask his bubbly, irritating neighbor for help. The Deal: Claire will pretend to be Victor‘s fiancée to save his business. The Catch: She has to teach a man who literally works with the dead how to look like he‘s actually enjoying life. Between a disastrous "YMCA" dance at a funeral, a confetti cannon mishap involving a mahogany casket, and a high-stakes Gala where the lies start feeling way too real, Claire and Victor are about to discover that sometimes, the person you least expect is exactly who you need on the other side of the door. If you love grumpy-meets-sunshine, witty banter, and dark humor that will make you laugh-cry, "The Other Side of the Door" is your next favorite read.
