When Gracie Met The Grump

From the author of the sensational TikTok hit, FROM LUKOV WITH LOVE, and the queen of the slow-burn romance!

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
The new novel from the author of the TikTok sensation, From Lukov With Love! No one writes slow burn like Mariana Zapata and her millions of fans agree!

Gracie Castro's life turns upside down in the most unexpected way when she discovers a half-naked superbeing in her yard. But rather than being thrilled, Gracie is less than amused. This mysterious figure is far from the ideal superhero—he's grumpy, rude, and shows no inclination to leave. Despite the irritation and chaos he brings, Gracie can't turn a blind eye when a hero needs help, even if it means upending her entire world and everything she thought she knew.

In When Gracie Met The Grump, Mariana Zapata masterfully crafts a tale of reluctant allies who must navigate their clashing personalities, explore their deepening connection, and confront the inevitable changes their partnership brings. Through witty banter, charged encounters, and a slow burn romance that simmers with tension, Zapata delivers another unforgettable story filled with humour, heart, and authentic emotion.

'Mariana Zapata can write no wrong, this story might just be my favourite of hers yet and I absolutely adore everything she has written!' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ reader review

Of all the things that could have landed in her yard . . . it had to be him.

For most people, finding a half-naked superbeing in their yard might be a dream come true.

Unfortunately for Gracie Castro, it's the exact opposite.

Especially when he's grouchy, rude, and shows no signs of leaving anytime soon.

But when a hero of mankind needs you, you do what you have to.

Even if it compromises everything you know.

And totally changes your life.
