Fixing the Grump

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Some walls are built to keep pain in. Some women are impossible not to let inside. Grayson West has turned his quiet house into a fortress after a fire left him scarred, injured, and carrying guilt over the partner he couldn’t save. The last thing he needs is Elena Hart—the bright, chaotic tenant upstairs—baking at midnight, flooding sinks, laughing through his silence, and making him feel things he swore he’d buried for good. Elena knows her much older landlord is trouble. He’s gruff, guarded, wounded, and determined to push her away. But beneath every sharp edge is a man who has forgotten how to be wanted, and every stolen touch makes it harder to pretend their attraction is only a mistake. As small-town whispers grow louder and Grayson’s past threatens to pull him back into isolation, Elena must decide whether loving a broken man is worth the burn—and Grayson must decide if he’s brave enough to stay. Fixing the Grump is a steamy contemporary age-gap romance with a brooding older hero, a sunshine heroine, forced proximity, landlord-tenant tension, emotional healing, and a hard-won happily ever after.
