Goldilocks and the Grumpy Bear

He’s too grumpy. She’s all sunshine. But together they might fit just right.

Single dad Declan Lowery is trying to have a peaceful holiday with his son. That is until Natalie Taylor plows into his front gate, all sunshine and Christmas cheer. While his son is delighted by her quirky fun, Declan knows he should find her a way home. He’s a famously grumpy ball player-he’s not running a damn bed and breakfast. But they’re stuck together while they wait for the storm to pass.

Soon she’s baking cookies and tempting him to take a bite. And Declan's list for Santa becomes a taste of her sweet lips and a chance to thread his fingers through those golden waves.

The Grumpy Bear should never fall for Goldilocks, but when the snow clears it might already be too late.
