One Night with a Billionaire Grump : A small-town enemies to lovers romance

I slept with the enemy… who turns out to be my best friend’s brother-in-law.

I met Grayson in a Nashville bar—grumpy, commanding, and everything I avoid. He’s trouble wrapped in confidence, and I want him anyway.

I swear it’s only one night. No names. No future. No consequences.

Until I run straight into him again—this time in my small town, in the middle of a fire, with everyone watching. Now he’s off-limits, dangerous, and impossible to escape.

We clash under headlines about unexplained fires, quiet land grabs, and his shady past. The town turns against me, convinced I’m guilty by association.

He protects me when I don’t ask. He challenges me when I refuse to bend.

Late-night investigations fade into stolen touches, our arguments turning into foreplay. I fall. Hard. Reckless. Completely.

Then the threats start. Photos of us together, proof we crossed a forbidden line. Blackmail demanding silence about the fires and the land being silently stolen. My career or his reputation.

Because loving Grayson doesn’t only risk my heart. It could burn my town to the ground—and make me the headline that destroys us both.
