Resisting the Grump
Ashley Munoz · Mount Macon #1
She ran from the grumpy recluse who broke her heart — now she's back home and he's falling for her.
Description
Ashley Munoz, brings a deliciously fun small-town romance, full of hilarious antics and a grumpy recluse-with no idea he has to not only win the girl but redeem himself in the process.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.
