The New Girl Next Door: A Grumpy Single Dad Romance
About this ebook
What I got was a shirtless single dad next door, a giant spider, and a very inconvenient crush.
I’m Chessy Scott, kindergarten teacher, new-in-town introvert, and secret expert at falling for emotionally unavailable men. So naturally, the hot guy next door checks every single box.
He’s a single dad.
He’s grumpy.
And—plot twist—he’s also the father of one of my students.
Cue internal screaming.
I try to keep things professional, I really do. But then one night, a giant spider invades my shower, and who comes running to my rescue with an axe in hand and no shirt on? That’s right. Mr. Too-Hot-to-Handle himself.
Now we’re texting. Talking. Flirting.
And falling.
But there’s a catch. A big one.
His ex-wife?
She’s my boss. As in, the principal of my school.
If this secret relationship gets out, I could lose everything I’ve worked for.
But when he looks at me like I’m the one thing holding his world together, I start to wonder…
Is love really worth risking it all?
