When Grump Met Sunshine: A Sweet Small Town Single Dad Romance by Shirley Wyatt

We’re next-door neighbors with baggage, kids... and absolutely no time for love. After my ex cheated, I moved to Seaview Harbor to start over. Quiet beaches. Friendly neighbors. No drama. Then Jack Montgomery moved in next door. He’s tall, handsome, and grumpy—a billionaire doctor still grieving a love he lost. I’m a single mom, terrified to risk my heart again. But our kids pull us together. So we share playgrounds. Beach walks. Late-night porch talks. And slowly, the walls between us start to crumble. I never meant to fall for him. But I see how he loves—quietly, fiercely, deeply. Suddenly, he’s pulled back into the city life he thought he left behind. And my ex shows up, threatening the new life I’ve worked so hard to build. Now the connection we’ve found—so rare, so unexpected—feels like it’s slipping away. For a moment, I let myself believe in forever—now I’m scared it was never real.
