Grump of Misty Mountain by Debra Elise

A sassy curvy woman. A grumpy silver-fox mountain man. Their accidental meet-cute changes everything.

SAMANTHA ‘SAMI’ LYNCH

Misty Mountain was the perfect place to start over. Too bad I spilled coffee on my very first customer—the sexy, grumpy, and ripped silver fox who just might be the perfect man for me to get over the last one.

Resisting the pleas from my cousins back home to put myself back out there, I’ve accepted I’m better off on my own and make plans to finally begin my dream career as a graphic artist.

When Finn keeps showing up wherever I go with his teasing humor, wicked grin and temptation filled eyes—I give in, making sure he knows I’m just looking for a little fun.

But when I wake up the next morning, I wonder who am I really trying to convince—him or myself?

FINN CAMPBELL

The only thing I enjoy more than a crispy apple fritter is locking myself in my cabin’s office and making up stories. But a man cannot survive on pastry and stale coffee alone.

Like clockwork, every Monday I venture into my adopted hometown to pick up a baker’s dozen of my favorite pastry. The pretty new barista talks me into one of those foo-foo coffees, but I end up wearing it instead of tasting it—and bam! I’m hooked on her sweet and sassy mouth.

Making Sami blush at every opportunity quickly becomes my mission because you can take the Ranger out of the Army, but you can’t take away the need for winning—at any cost.

And making Sami mine? Well, whether she realizes it, she’s been mine from that very first encounter.

All that’s left to do is get her to believe that one night, one week, heck, even a lifetime of her kisses and having her delectable petite curves in my bed will never be enough.

And not even her ex’s sudden appearance will stop me from making sure our story has a happily ever after, even if I have to turn in my grump card.
