See that guy over there? The insanely tall, broad-shouldered, dark-haired, scowling, "I don't drink coffee" suit?

Surprise! He's the new owner of my family's mountain café.

The café that has been my life purpose since I was born in the kitchen there almost thirty years ago.

The café that he's planning to completely gut and renovate for revenge against one of my family members.

He's also the funny, charming, irresistible guy I spilled all of my secrets to last week.

During the hottest one-night stand of my life.

As my dog would say, woof me.

Secrets and gossip keep getting me in trouble, and I swore I was done with both, but now my family's café is on the line.

It's time to use every last trick I know to uncover every secret this man is hiding.

I don't care how much I liked him our first night together, or how much I keep seeing glimpses of that man beneath his gruff exterior.

One of us has to go.

It won't be me.

The Gossip & The Grump is a one night stand to enemies to lovers romcom featuring a woman desperately trying to unlearn everything she knows about everyone, a grumpy misfit hiding a secret heart of gold, an unfortunate incident with powdered cheese, and the world's biggest lap puppy. It stands alone, but you wouldn't go wrong to read The Worst Wedding Date first.
