From Grumpy to Forever: A Grumpy/Sunshine Marriage of Convenience Small Town Romance (Trickle Creek: The Lyons Book 1)

About this book

She’s all sunshine and ambition; he’s all sawdust and silence. When she inherits the crumbling Tamarack Inn, she is determined to restore the legacy of her grandparents. However, a restrictive clause in the will threatens her dream: she must be married to keep the property. Desperate to save the inn, she strikes a bargain with Reid Lyons, the grumpiest man in the small town of Trickle Creek. The arrangement is purely professional. She needs his expert carpentry skills to salvage the historic building, and in exchange, she agrees to help him launch his dream woodworking business. They sign a contract for a six-month marriage of convenience, fully intending to keep their personal lives separate. But sharing a home and a mission proves to be a dangerous game. As the lines between business and pleasure blur, the heat between them becomes impossible to ignore. The man who once barely acknowledged her existence begins to look at her with an intensity that threatens to rewrite their agreement. This classic grumpy/sunshine, marriage-of-convenience tale proves that the best-laid plans often crumble, especially when hearts are on the line. Will they walk away when the six months are up, or will they find a forever they never expected?
