In The Grump Next Door, a retired pro-football player-turned-high-school-coach winds up in a fake-dating scenario with his tenant.. and the woman he shared several steamy kisses and one hot night with. But he firmly believes it was a mistake. Now, not only are they stuck in a very public but very fake relationship, her cottage floods and the two are forced to live together, altering all their plans–and feelings–until they end up going to far with no way back. This spicy contemporary rom-com is perfect for fans of Emily Henry and Tessa Bailey!

Award-winning USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Brighton Walsh spent a decade as a professional photographer before taking her storytelling in a different direction and reconnecting with her first love—writing.

She likes her books how she likes her tea—steamy and satisfying—and adores strong-willed heroines and the protective heroes who fall head over heels for them.

Brighton lives in the Midwest with her real-life hero of a husband, her two kids—both taller than her—and her dog who thinks she’s a queen. Her boy-filled house is the setting for dirty socks galore, frequent dance parties (okay, so it’s mostly her, by herself, while her children look on in horror), and more laughter than she thought possible.
