Second Chance with the Grumpy Ex-Rockstar: A Single Dad Sweet Romance

by Evelyn Tanner, Virtual Voice (Narrator)

Helping my grumpy ex hide his secret life as a single dad rockstar?
Definitely not my New Year’s resolution—neither was falling for him all over again.

After a failed publishing deal, I returned home to find peace.
Instead, I find Ryan, my high school sweetheart, living next door.

Years ago, he ditched me to chase fame.
Now, he’s a gentleman grump, raising his daughter away from the spotlight.

Call it weakness, but I agree to help him stay under the radar.
Between playgrounds, ice cream, and the way he looks at his little girl, I get pulled back in.

My calm, awkward vibe clashes with his outgoing charm—and it’s magnetic.
A private mini-concert he plays just for me says more than words ever could.
His eyes whisper a melody I can’t ignore.

With his comeback concert looming, his label wants him scandal-free.

But will I become the scandal, putting his career and image at risk?
Will he leave me to protect his fame—and break my heart again?
