The Grumpy Innkeeper
Leo Hawthorne is the keeper of the Inn, the patriarch of a dying legacy, and the most miserable man in Willow Creek. After losing his best friend and business partner, he has one mission: save the historic Hawthorne Inn from bankruptcy before the Christmas Gala. He needs a ruthless, emotionless coordinator with zero distractions.
Callie Brooks is desperate. A fiercely protective single mother on the run, she needs this job to secure her daughter Mia's future. When she signs the contract promising no distractions, she is hiding the biggest one of all: Mia's paternity, a secret tied directly to the Hawthorne family past.
The Secret That Will Ruin EverythingCallie's brilliant logistics system is the only thing keeping the Inn afloat, but her growing, undeniable connection to Leo is a wildfire. A midnight kiss shatters their professional walls, only for Leo to discover the chilling truth: Callie didn't just apply for a job-she's an internal spy, using a lost journal to expose his family's trust and fighting for the inheritance of the little girl he's come to adore.
Now, with the Festival on the line and the powerful Hawthorne Trust at risk of fracturing, Leo must face the ultimate choice:
Protect the cold, controlling legacy he was born into, or surrender to the chaotic, passionate woman who holds the key to the Inn's-and his own-true, warm future.
The Innkeeper's Secret is a standalone, full-length, small-town single dad romance featuring high-stakes secrets, a grumpy-meets-sunshine trope, and a delicious forbidden office romance. Guaranteed HEA!
