Retirement was peaceful—sweet tea, porch gossip, and zero romantic drama—until Maxwell J. Grant moved downstairs. He’s a brooding ex-CEO with sharp suits, guarded eyes, and a knack for making my walls shake with judgment.
I’m Southern warmth. He’s emotional ice.
We clash. We snipe. One wall apart, a million ways to annoy me: We collide in mailrooms and laundry rooms—and somehow, the tension between us is growing.
My grumpy neighbor is irresistible. He listens too closely, sees too deeply, and makes me feel something I was done chasing.
But Maxwell has secrets—ones that seep through floorboards and shift the ground beneath us. When truth erupts between us, I’ll have to decide:
Is he the man I misjudged… or the heartbreak I’m walking into with open arms?
The Grumpy CEO Downstairs is Book #5 of the Cherry Lane Series, a heartwarming small-town romance bursting with sass, sparks, and laugh-out-loud moments. Come for the swoony love story, stay for the quirky neighbors, meddling family, and front porch drama—all sealed with biblical principles.
