She's a tech developer with walls higher than her ambitions; he's a PR pro who keeps finding ways around them. Atlanta's tech scene is about to get a lot more interesting.
The last thing developer Opal Richardson needs while launching a groundbreaking tech platform is a distraction. Especially not Sterling Carter, whose co-working space sits right across the courtyard from hers. He’s sexy, charming..and keeps showing up with an uncanny ability to climb right over her carefully constructed walls.
Sterling Carter's recent return to Atlanta was supposed to be about launching his PR firm, not falling for the tall, stunning, sharp-tongued woman who challenges him from day one. Despite their instant chemistry, Opal's painful past makes her hesitant to mix business with pleasure.
When a severe storm traps them together, their connection becomes impossible to ignore, sparking a passionate encounter that could either heal her wounds or break her heart completely.
Set in Atlanta's bustling tech scene, GRUMPY VALENTINE is a steamy workplace romance where love moves at startup speed.
Opal and Sterling had a rocky start. He was holding up the coffee line. He apologized and she can't stop thinking about him. I enjoyed this story a lot. Opal was nervous about trusting someone again but she couldn't deny her feelings for Sterling. I would love to revisit this couple again in another short.
This novella was exactly what I needed. A short romantic story with mature characters. It is a workplace romance but not really. The main characters, Sterling and Opal meet at a co-working space. They have a not so friendly first meeting that quickly evolves into something more. This is a perfect read for an afternoon delight. The story moves quickly with just enough spicy scenes.
