The Grumpy CFO's Temporary Problem

Gretchen Langley agrees to watch her neighbor’s house and does not expect to be threatening a stranger with the police.

That stranger is Zoe Boynton, the neighbor’s long-lost granddaughter, younger and eager to meet the grandmother she has never known, only to find the house empty.

With Zoe suddenly stranded, Gretchen, a grumpy CFO, reluctantly gives her a temporary place to stay.

Zoe’s free-spirited warmth slips past Gretchen’s reserve, while Gretchen’s quiet kindness leaves Zoe feeling safer than she has in years.

Irritation between the two women eases into friendship and then into an age-gap attraction that refuses to stay convenient.

Loving each other without taking over, running off, or trying to fix one another proves harder than falling.
