Book Hero thinking about your next read

To save her parent's business, Raelyn must return home and work with the grumpy recluse who once broke her heart. This time, however, he's set to win hers but she refuses to fall for him again.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Stalking the town recluse wasn't exactly wise.

Davis was five years older than me... antisocial and temperamental. And there was the little fact that he didn't know I existed. Still, I gave him my heart, and he crushed it.

So I picked up the pieces and ran away to New York City. I had a plan that would keep my heart intact for years. But one phone call changed everything.

Returning home meant facing the past... and the man who ruined me. I had hoped that the mountain had swallowed him whole. But, as I set out to help my parents, I discover he's not only alive and well, but that they apparently love the jerk.

He has no idea that we have a past, which is both a relief and salt in the wound. I promise myself I'll ignore how his eyes linger on me, or how his touch feels like a live wire, and I'll remember that once upon a time he broke me, and for that, I refuse to fall for him again.

But I can't control that he seems to be falling for me this time.

Experience the complicated emotions and unexpected romance in Resisting the Grump by Ashley Munoz.
