A swoony, small town romance from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix!

When the grumpy firefighter falls for the sunshine girl who turns his world upside down...

Elsa Whitney walks into my life like she owns the sun, all warmth and light, and shatters the quiet I've been clinging to. Not that I can blame her. She's impossible to ignore. And somehow, I'm the idiot who offered her a place to stay.

Brilliant move.

I've got enough on my plate-raising my son, rebuilding my family's resort, and trying to keep the pieces of my family together. The last thing I need is a distraction, especially one as tempting as Elsa.

Too bad my family is already smitten. Worse? They swear I'm less of a grouch with her around.

They're not wrong.

Because the truth is, I don't just want her in my house-I want her in my life, in my bed, in every moment I can steal. And once I finally give in? There's no turning back.
