When Grumpy Met Sunshine: A Novel

A steamy opposites-attract romance between a grumpy retired footballer and his sunshiney ghostwriter.

When ex-footballer Alfie Harding reluctantly agrees to sell his memoirs, he knows he can’t write them himself—he’s guarded, unemotional, and hates opening up. Enter Mabel Willicker, a cheerful, sassy ghostwriter who’s determined to get every detail out of him. Their witty banter turns into unexpected chemistry, especially after the public mistakes their professional partnership for a romance. Forced to fake a relationship, Alfie and Mabel soon find their pretend affection blurring into something real—and must decide whether their sparks are just for show or the start of a true happily ever after.
