The Grumpy Player Next Door

<p><strong>I Tillie Jean Rock am not in love with my brother's teammate.</strong> Sure he might have those biceps and that I am the grouchiest of grouchy bears smolder and he might shovel snow off his driveway next door wearing nothing but boxer shorts and rubber boots and he might be running a side business feeding all the stray goats in town but studliness is only skin-deep.</p><p><br></p><p>And I might flirt with him every chance I get but I swear it's only to annoy my brother.</p><p><br></p><p>And him.</p><p><br></p><p>Because Max Cole?</p><p><br></p><p>Under all of those glorious muscles and chiseled cheekbones and searing glares beats the heart of a heartless devil.</p><p>I could no sooner fall in love with a guy who treats me like a kid and judges me at every opportunity and sets an army of garden gnomes loose on my yard than I could fall in love with my grandfather's pet parrot.</p><p><br></p><p>But I can definitely annoy him. I can one hundred percent get on board with annoying him.</p><p><br></p><p>That's what you do when you don't like your neighbor right?</p><p><br></p><p>But you know what they say about love and hate...</p><p><br></p><p>It's a very thin line.</p><p><br></p><p>Especially when the <em>real</em> reason I'm not in love with Max Cole-that he's incapable of love-might not be true at all.</p><p><br></p><p><em>The Grumpy Player Next door is a fun-filled enemies-to-lovers romcom featuring a ray of sunshine on a mission an athlete who's only grouchy around her and an epic prank gone wrong. It stands alone and comes complete with small-town shenanigans a goat who's not nearly as wise as his name suggests and proof that sometimes love is the best kind of vengeance.</em></p>
