Max Donovan walked away from the high-stakes world of business to raise his kids and grow organic food in peace. But that peace is disrupted the night he trades quips-and blackout coffee-with Elle Sinclair, the sharp-witted, beautiful editor of the Willow Gazette.
When Max and Elle are volunteered to plan the town's open mic night, sparks fly. But everything changes when a cosplay-obsessed fan crashes their not-date and Max claims Elle as his fiancée to protect her. In a town full of talkers, the lie spreads fast-and neither of them is ready to tell the truth.
As they find the truth in their lie, real feelings begin to surface-and the line between pretending and falling in love blurs.Then Max's son falls in love for the first time-and Max and Elle must decide if they're ready to honor the truth of their own relationship, too.
Sunshine Wakes Up Grumpy is a witty, heartfelt small-town romance with open-door heat, a touch of fantasy-world charm, and a full-bodied emotional finish.
For readers who love romance with soul, sass, and a happily-ever-after that's earned.
Perfect for fans of Lucy Score, Abby Jimenez, and Katherine Center.
