Two powerhouse authors bring you a hilarious tale of one womanโs journey to find herself again.
Ever have one of those days where life just plain sucks? Welcome to my last three monthsโever since I caught my canโt-be-soon-enough ex-husband cheating with his paralegal. Iโm thirty-five years old, and Iโve lost my NYC apartment, my job, my money, and frankly, my dignity.
But the final heartache in the suck sandwich of my life? My great-aunt Maggie died. The only family member whoโs ever gotten me.
Even after death, though, sheโs helping me get back up. Sheโs willed me the keys to a house in the burbs, of all places, and dared me to grab life by the family jewels. Well, Iโve got the vise grips already in hand (my ex should take note) and Iโm ready to fight for my life again.
Too bad that bravado only lasts as long as it takes to drive into Huckleberry Hills. And see the house.
There are forty-seven separate HOA violations, and I feel them all in my bones. Honestly, Iโm surprised no oneโs โaccidentallyโ torched the house yet. I want to, and Iโve only been standing in front of it for five minutes. But then my hot, grumpy neighbor tells me to mow the lawn first and Iโm just…done. Done with men too sexy for their own good and done with anyone telling me what to do.
First rule of surviving the burbs? There is nothing that YouTube and a glass of wine canโt conquer.

Dillon Dawson loves to write romance despite her latest relationship ending with her traveling to the Maldives alone on what was supposed to be her honeymoon. Now, the only thing she wants is two weeks of uninterrupted peace and quiet with absolutely no men in sight.
