Venus Next Door Extended Version

By Niccoyan Zheng

Isaac Lam likes his quiet non-festive cul-de-sac just the way it is. Everyone stays to themselves and minds their own business. One visit from his new neighbour Venus 'Vee' Desmond and he senses things are about to change.

Vee is a new homeowner looking forward to filling her new home and neighbours with as much cheer as they can stand. Except Isaac wants no part of it.

Vee gets off on the wrong foot with Isaac, but that does little to squelch the attraction that they have for each other. Can one snowy stormy night bring them together? Or will it push them further apart?

Extended version of the novelette Venus Next Door included in the Cupid's Kiss: A Penning Valley Valentine's Day Anthology.
