The Holiday Grump

£9.99

Hideaway Harbor was supposed to be a quick detour – one cozy Christmas job, then I’d be back on the cruise ship, far from my powerful ex and the mess I left behind. But thanks to a tiny mix-up, my ‘accommodation’ is a storage room with a creaky daybed and no plumbing. Enter my neighbour Fredrik: a broody bookstore owner with a decent bathroom and the social skills of a cactus. He’s everything I shouldn’t want – grumpy, reclusive, and allergic to holiday cheer. Yet he keeps showing up for me. Saving me. Heating up the sauna. And suddenly, we’re tangled in something neither of us is ready for. We’re just friends. With excellent benefits. Until the lines blur. I should keep running, but this small town is starting to feel like home. And Fredrik – he might be the reason I finally stay.

Description

'Push pull. Brilliant banter. Care and the community. this book had it all' Reader review, 5 stars A runaway bride. A grumpy bookseller with a heart of gold. A friends-with-benefits deal that's just for the holidays . . . This job selling Christmas ornaments in Hideaway Harbor was supposed to be the perfect escape from my ex and the mess I made when I left him at the altar. But somehow my new neighbor is a guy who hates Christmas? Fredrik owns the bookstore next door, and he might just be the world's biggest grump. Not that it matters, but he's also drop-dead gorgeous. He's everything I shouldn't want – moody, reclusive, and allergic to holiday cheer. Yet he keeps showing up for me. Saving me when I almost freeze in my run-down accommodation. Getting surprisingly steamy in his backyard sauna . . . Suddenly, we're tangled in something neither of us is ready for. We're polar opposites who somehow fit together far too well. I should keep running, but this small town is starting to feel like home. And Fredrik might be the reason I finally stay . . . Your next favourite sweet'n'steamy small-town romcom that will give you ALL the feels this Christmas!
