Jules Barnard

Jules Barnard writes romantic comedy and romantic fantasy, with contemporary series linked by recurring communities and characters. Landlord Wars belongs to her All’s Fair series and works as a standalone story. It follows Sophia, who finds an affordable San Francisco rental only to discover that wealthy property owner Max Burrows is closely connected to her new household. Their differences in money, family expectations, and assumptions about each other turn proximity into rivalry before trust begins to change the relationship. Barnard's own edition description identifies the novel as a Cinderella-inflected, rivals-to-lovers comedy. The city rental problem is more than scenery: housing, class, and Max's role as landlord keep practical power inside the romantic conflict.
