Grumpy Billionaire Daddy

I fell for my best friend’s dad.
The grumpy, billionaire single dad who swore he couldn’t stand me.

I came back to Crescent Cove to help my best friend plan her wedding—
not to crash into her father’s car or move into his guest house.

Jack Lawson is everything I should stay away from.
Twice my age, guarded, impossible to read… and the first man who sees me.

He watches me like chaos he can’t control.
I tease him until composure cracks and truth slips.

A blackout, a confession, and a reckless kiss turn no into not-enough.
We’re opposites—sunshine and storm, laughter and restraint.

If my best friend learns the truth, I could lose the only family I have.
He could lose his daughter’s trust, and the town will feast on scandal.

Guest-house hallways dare us; aunties whisper, his ex circles, guilt tightens.
He steadies my fear; I soften his edges until want feels like gravity.

So I choose messy, blazing truth.
Even if it costs everything—he is home.
