Fixing the Grump

He's a storm I'm not supposed to touch. I'm the noise he can't shut out. One kiss, and the rules between the grump downstairs and the girl upstairs go up in flames.

Elena Hart only needs a quiet place to start over—until her landlord, Grayson West, pounds on her door with a scowl, a cane, and eyes that taste every secret she didn't mean to share. He wants silence. She brings sugar, sunshine, and trouble…plus a talent for breaking sinks and boundaries.

Grayson was a hero once—a fallen firefighter with scars he hides and guilt he won't name. He's older, off-limits, and done with hope. But Elena bakes her way past his locked doors and lonelier nights, and the heat between them turns from slow burn to wildfire. When the small town starts talking and his past comes roaring back, Grayson's need to protect her collides with the one thing she refuses to accept: losing him.

Forced-proximity banter, age-gap ache, and a broken man who learns that being seen is the bravest kind of desire. Fixing the Grump is a steamy, small-town, grumpy-sunshine romance about second chances, soft hands on rough edges, and the fierce, forever love that refuses to be quiet.
