The Grumpy Coach's Heart: An Age Gap Single Dad Brother's Best Friend Grumpy x Sunshine Small Town Baseball Romance (Thunder Creek Thunderbolts #4)

I've been in love with Marcus Thompson for ten years. Too bad he still sees me as his best friend's little sister.

The grumpy baseball coach with the devastating smile has no idea I exist as anything more than the elementary school teacher who helps with youth league. But when I catch the wedding bouquet to protect his eight-year-old daughter, something shifts between us.

One scorching look across the reception, and suddenly I'm not invisible anymore.

Mac is everything I've ever wanted—protective, passionate, and completely devoted to his little girl. But he's also ten years older, recently divorced, and fighting a custody battle that could tear his world apart.

His ex-wife thinks I'm too young, too naive, too inappropriate for a man like him.

His best friend—my overprotective brother—agrees.

Mac himself keeps pushing me away, convinced he's protecting me from the mess his life has become.

But I'm done being the good girl who waits on the sidelines. I'm done letting everyone else decide what's best for me. And I'm definitely done pretending I don't want to be Emma's bonus mom and Mac's everything.

Some things are worth fighting for. Some love is worth the risk.

The question will Mac let me fight for us, or will fear cost him the family he never knew he needed?
