Most Likely to Doubt Love by Mary Waterford

*** Previously published as Most Likely to… Doubt Love (2022) by Mary Waterford. This Second Edition has been extensively revised and expanded from the original novella. ***

Cam Rockford is the definition of grumpy. He eats cereal from the box, glares at his lawn like it personally offended him, and has perfected the art of one word answers.

He’s also a devoted single dad, and my frustratingly gorgeous neighbor who just fixed my flat tire without being asked.

Now I owe him. That debt turns into babysitting his two adorable daughters while he works late.

It’s supposed to be temporary. Professional. A bit of extra cash to pay for my art classes.

Except he keeps looking at me like I’m the answer to a question he’s too afraid to ask.

And when he catches me at my lowest, when I’m shattered and gasping for air, he doesn’t run. He holds me together with

those rough, capable hands and whispers that he’s got me.

When Cam Rockford falls, he falls hard, and he’s determined to show me that I’m worthy of a love that doesn’t flinch.

But can a former beauty queen with a traumatic past really build a future with the grumpy single dad next door?
