Rose and the Grouch Next Door by Sammie Lyra

The sweet Southern belle. The broody author next door.
Rose
My hot-as-sin neighbor makes me think naughty thoughts. Too bad he’s a grumpy jerk who is just plain hard to like.
Sure, my mischief-making dog doesn’t respect his personal space, but I’ve been nothing but nice to the grouchy writer. Everyone in my town likes me, except Braxton Barrows. That’s not acceptable. Guess it’s time to get “Operation Neighborly Love” underway to win him over.
Brace yourself Braxton ’cause here comes the sunshine!
Braxton
The blonde bombshell next door has made it her mission to be more than friends, but I can’t let that happen. She’s innocence personified and much too young for me. My writing career is my first true love, or it was, until I moved to Sea Shanty Cove and met the tiny free spirit with the luscious curves and a heart of gold.

Rose Flowers is the muse that Braxton Barrows didn’t know he needed, but can he convince her of his change of heart?
