The GRUMPY Single Dad: A SWEET SMALL-TOWN ENEMIES-TO-LOVERS ROMANCE
Mia Cross
I meet Ryan on the worst night. The earth literally quaked. “It’s a sign,” someone shouts.
He shoots down my school proposals like I am chaos wrapped in tin foil.
He’s a tyrant in his own restaurant, yet his staff adore him for it.
Then he rescues me from the most humiliating date of my life.
Which should not make me notice his eyes nor the way he steadies Lily, his daughter’s, world with soft touches.
Suddenly I am in his top restaurant, learning heat and courage from this same man. He keeps showing up with quiet loyalty, perfect pancakes, and a heart he pretends not to have.
Three moments undo me.
The night he cooks for me like I matter.
The morning Lily slips her hand in mine.
When I realize I am safer with him than anywhere else.
Then I am framed for a crime I did not commit.
The whole town turns on me. Casts me out on a rail.
I can't possibly come back.
And the man I love becomes the one person I am terrified to lose forever.
