Kissing the Grump Next Door: A Small Town Romance Grumpy Sunshine Neighbors-to-Lovers Romantic Comedy

When Lila Hart moves back to the charming small town of Maplewood, she expects peace, quiet, and a fresh start. What she doesn't expect is Ethan Cole-the brooding, broad-shouldered, infuriatingly handsome neighbor who wakes her every morning with power tools and a permanent scowl.

He's grumpy. She's sunshine.

After a chaotic first meeting, a few unexpected rescues, and one unforgettable kiss during a thunderstorm, Lila discovers that Ethan isn't just the grump next door-he's lonely, guarded, and hiding a soft side she can't resist. And Ethan learns that Lila isn't chaos... she's exactly the warmth he's been avoiding.

But loving your neighbor isn't easy-especially when he's planning to leave town and she's finally ready to stay.

As sparks turn into chemistry, and chemistry turns into something deeper, Lila and Ethan must decide if they're brave enough to risk their hearts... or run from the best thing that's ever happened to them.
