He's strange, dark . . . and utterly intriguing.

As usual it was my big mouth getting me into trouble. In my defense, I hadn't realized that Whisper Cove's mysterious new resident was behind me when I called him strange, dark and grim.

I finally landed my dream job as a journalist for an online publication, and my first assignment is a story about Grimstone Manor, a turn-of-last-century home that is rumored to be cursed. Naturally, the strange, dark and grim mystery man is the new owner of the manor.

It's time to turn on that Lovely sister charm and warm my way into his crummy, cursed house.

When Rhett Lockwood, a handsome introvert decides I can look through the old artifacts and books in the house, the last thing I expect is to become friends with the man.

And that friendship grows to something else. There's only one thing in the way. His very angry, vengeful ex-wife.

It seems the curse is all too real, and the house has chosen me, Ella Lovely, as its next victim.

Falling for the Grumpy Stranger is a dual POV cozy, sweet romance that has all the swoon and sizzle without the spice—Kisses only.

Tropes:

Small town
Closed door – kisses only
Mysterious bad boy
