Grumpy Sunshine Romantic Comedy (Ponderosa Resort Romantic Comedies Book 4)

I may look like a grumpy lumberjack, but I'm a softie for sweets, single moms, and my massive, messy family. That's why I found myself walking into Chelsea Singer's cupcake shop with an axe, though I've since forgotten my original reasons. The moment she flashed those captivating blue eyes and offered me a double-fudge cupcake with Irish cream frosting, I lost all sense of purpose.

The family dynamics have become increasingly complicated now that we're running a resort together on our late-father's ranch. This has brought my siblings that much closer to discovering I'm not who they think I am. The resort venture has certainly added to the messiness, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

As my relationship with Chelsea heats up, I'm falling faster than an old-growth redwood doused in buttercream and set ablaze, only to be reduced to kindling. It's merely a figure of speech, of course, but the intensity of my feelings is undeniable. This newfound affection is, however, rather inconvenient, as it turns out someone wants to harm Chelsea and her daughter.

But they'll have to get through me first. And no way in hell will that happen. I may be a softie, but I'm also fiercely protective of those I care about. Chelsea and her little girl have wormed their way into my heart, and I'll be damned if I let anything happen to them.

It's strange how life has a way of throwing curveballs. One minute I'm a gruff, solitary figure, the next I'm head-over-heels for a charming single mom and her adorable child. The family drama and the threat of danger only serve to strengthen my resolve to keep them safe.

I may have forgotten my original reasons for storming into that cupcake shop, but I know with absolute certainty that I'll do whatever it takes to protect the people who have come to mean the world to me. This messy, complicated life of mine is exactly where I want to be.
