The New Girl Next Door: A grumpy single dad romantic comedy (Surprised by Love, Band 3) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

I have a secret crush on the grumpy single dad next door. He's also my student's father. And his ex-wife is my boss.
What could possibly go wrong?

My name is Chessy Scott — kindergarten teacher, hopeless romantic, and the proud, thirty-year-old owner of entirely too many plushies. I believe in meet-cutes. I cry at Hallmark movies. I have a Pinterest board titled "my future wedding" that I've been adding to since I was fourteen, and I refuse to be embarrassed about any of it.
Then I moved into a new apartment and met my neighbor.
Jack is six feet of brooding, broken, impossibly handsome single dad. He's a heart surgeon with a tragic past and a scowl that could curdle milk. He barely tolerates my existence. He definitely doesn't want my olive branches, my casseroles, or my terrible attempts at small talk in the elevator.
Which is fine. I'll just love him from a respectful, heart-shattering distance.
Then a spider the size of my face invades my shower.
I scream like a banshee. Jack kicks down my bathroom door with an axe in hand, shirtless and panting like the cover of every romance novel I've ever read.
We do not speak of it.
Except now we are speaking. And texting. And standing too close in the hallway. And somewhere between his son's bedtime stories and our stolen moments on the fire escape, I'm falling for the one man in the world I absolutely cannot have.
Because his five-year-old? He's in my class.
And his ex-wife? The woman who broke his heart and wants to take his son away from him?
She's the principal of my school.
If anyone finds out about us, I lose the job I love, he loses his son, and everything we're trying to build burns to the ground.
But when he looks at me like I'm the one thing holding his world together…
I'm starting to wonder if some risks are worth taking.

• Grumpy single dad meets sunshine kindergarten teacher
• The most iconic shirtless-axe-rescue in romcom history
• Forbidden workplace romance with heart-stopping tension
• A broken hero, a hopeful heroine, and a healing love story

Perfect for fans of Abby Jimenez, Tessa Bailey's sweeter novels, Melanie Harlow's clean reads, and every reader who has ever said the words "grumpy sunshine" with their whole heart.

Reader note: The New Girl Next Door is a standalone grumpy/sunshine single-dad romantic comedy. This book is the spiciest in the Surprised by Love series — closed-door, but with significant sizzle, innuendo, and heat on the page. No explicit scenes, no swearing, HEA guaranteed.
