Harbor Light Books: A Grumpy/Sunshine, Small-Town, Forced Proximity Romance: 1

She has ninety days to save her grandmother's bookshop. He has ninety days to decide if she's worth the risk of trusting anyone again. Ivy Calloway came home to Pelican Cove to run the bookshop her grandmother built, the one thing in her life that felt like it couldn't be taken from her. Then a letter arrives: the waterfront lot is going up for sale, and saving her shop means convincing the impossible, guarded man next door to sign a petition neither of them wants to need. Deacon Marsh has spent three years making sure no one gets close enough to hurt him twice. A joint proposal with a hopeful bookshop owner sounds exactly like the mistake that cost him everything before. But Ivy doesn't quit, and somewhere between story hour and a stolen afternoon caught together in the rain, Deacon starts wondering if some risks are worth taking after all. Then an offer arrives that could end everything they've built, quietly, easily, and without either of them ever having to say the hard thing out loud. A sweet, small-town, grumpy/sunshine romance about two people who learn that the scariest thing isn't losing what you love. It's never trying to keep it at all.
