The Grump and the Writer
There are distractions, and then there are raccoons throwing your life into chaos.
When Charlotte packed her bags and left Chicago for the serene Pacific Northwest, she imagined tranquil days, writing her next spicy romance novel surrounded by towering trees. She did not imagine meeting Isaac, a grumpy, brooding woodworker, thanks to a rogue raccoon breaking into her temporary home.
Charlotte’s plan was enjoy some solitude, meet her deadline, and avoid getting tangled in the quirks of small-town life. That was before Isaac became her unlikely muse. With his chiseled jawline and unrelenting scowl, he somehow found himself roped into Charlotte’s “book research.”
He’s as rugged as the forest he calls home. She’s fiery, a little out of her element, and determined to make the most of her temporary escape. Together, they’re a disaster waiting to happen—and a romance readers won’t be able to resist.
The Grump and the Writer is a short, easy, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy packed with spice, wildlife mishaps, and a grumpy woodworker who discovers he’s the perfect leading man for the romance author next door.
