Matched with the Grumpy Secret Prince by Lily Jacobson

Sophie Davis is a powerhouse event planner. Graham Cole is a broody, reclusive landscape architect—or so everyone thinks.

Sophie built the life she always wanted—so why does it still feel empty? A trip home to plan her cousin’s wedding might be the change she needs. The last thing she expects? Getting roped into working with Graham, the town’s most elusive resident.
Graham walked away from his royal past and the Montgomery name. For seven years, Bardstown has been his refuge, a place to keep his identity buried. Sophie is everything he’s avoided—polished, ambitious, and far too close to the life he abandoned. From the moment they meet, there’s an undeniable spark, one they both refuse to acknowledge. The more they resist, the stronger the tension becomes.
Just as Sophie starts breaking through his walls, Graham’s past comes knocking. The future of the throne is in jeopardy. Secrets unravel. And Graham? Gone.
Will Sophie fight for a man who refuses to let anyone in? Or will Graham lose the one person who sees him for who he truly is?

This sweet romcom is packed with all the flirty chemistry you could want—complete with swoony kisses—but skips the steam. Think sparks without the fire! It’s a standalone in a charming series with a guaranteed happily ever after. It includes a single punch, driven by deep personal hurt rather than anger.
