And the night we spent tangled up in each other? Hot as hell but a complete disaster.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause now Sutton Sinclair—the sharp-tongued troublemaker who left claw marks down my back and a dent in my self-control—is living in my backyard cottage with her teenage daughter. And I’m her goddamn landlord.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI like things quiet. Controlled. She's neither. Sutton’s chaos wrapped in sunshine, a temptation in scrubs I can’t seem to stay away from.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen her ex shows up acting like Sutton’s still his to lose, I claim her on instinct. The kiss? Hot. The fallout? Immediate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow my family—and the entire town—thinks we’re a couple.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFake dating Sutton wasn’t in my playbook, but if being a pro-footballer turned high school coach has taught me anything, it’s how to pivot. All I have to do is keep my hands to myself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen her cottage floods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow we’re sharing a roof…and a bed. The line between real and fake is blurring faster than I can redo the guest house.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is supposed to be temporary. But Sutton doesn’t just crash into my life—she rewrites it. She’s in my home, moaning my name, breaking every rule I’ve ever lived by.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd I’m starting to want something permanent with the woman who’s already got one foot out the door.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brighton Walsh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46379811504281,"sku":"2876","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0643\/3941\/1097\/files\/9781685180485.jpg?v=1773582722","url":"https:\/\/kissandtalebookshop.com\/products\/grump-next-door","provider":"KISS AND TALE ROMANCE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
