Alice and the Grump

About the Book

I’m the guy who has everything… except her.

At 47, I’ve built a restaurant empire and a TV career on discipline and sharp edges. Love? Never had the time, and certainly never had the patience. But a business expansion drags me to Teddington… and straight into her café.

Alice is too young, too sweet, and entirely too tempting. With curves that could bring a man to his knees, her presence makes me forget why I was scowling in the first place. Before I know it, I’m returning for yet another cappuccino.

But her business is about to close its doors, and it’s all because of me.

Now I have two choices: walk away like I always do… or fight for something worth keeping.

This curvy girl/dad bod romance sees the return of everyone’s favorite barista, Alice, who immediately wins over the broody silver fox of her dreams. Watch out, don’t burn yourself on the heat that develops between these two! Because true love isn’t served on a silver platter—sometimes it’s meticulously brewed up in Teddington’s favorite coffee spot.
