The Grumpy Lumberjack Next Door

She came to Whisper Vale after her divorce, buying a fixer-upper cabin sight unseen and driving three hundred miles with her elderly cat for a much-needed reset.

She did not expect her neighbor to be Briggs Holloway, the lumberjack next door and the six-foot-three headache from college she thought she had left behind for good.

Grumpy, gorgeous, and unwilling to let her struggle, he shows up with lumber when the cabin fails her and spends hours in the woods calling for her missing cat.

She hates him for ruining her life once already, even as her body betrays her every time he swings that axe outside her kitchen window.

She came here to find herself again, not to fall for the Christmas tree farmer next door, but he is growing on her all the same.
