THE GRUMP

Layla Hagen

Release Date: December 6

Available in Kindle Unlimited!

I love my job. So when a grumpy grouch wants to shut us down, I’m ready for the fight of my life.


I was heading for serious career burnout until my dream job came true. Making pralines for a living has been the best thing that’s ever happened to me. So it comes as quite a shock when I find out that the owner wants to shut down the LeBlanc-Broussard confectionery because it’s not profitable.


My hope is that I can win him over. Once he realizes how integral the confectionery is to the city, to the very makeup of New Orleans he’s bound to agree, right?


Wrong.


Xander LeBlancĀ is a grump, and it’s questionable whether he has a heart at all! Though I’m ashamed to admit I was blindsided by how hot he is — definitely a 10+. Unfortunately, his personality is aĀ zero. All he’s concerned about are profits and not the charitable work the business is known for.

But suddenly, Xander begins to show up at various events we sponsor. When he arrives at the children’s hospital where I hand out treats during the holiday season, I see an entirely new side to him when he starts playingĀ TheĀ GrinchĀ for the kids! When he takes me home later that evening things between us escalate. He confesses that he’s been attracted to me from day one and let’s just say, the man hasĀ hot skillsĀ in bed.


But the inevitable closing of the confectionary still weighs heavy on my mind and I don’t know if I can separate the two. Can I love a man who wants to take away the only joy I have in life? But the bigger question is…


Can I melt the ice around his heart and find my way inside it for longer than a few nights?

Xander’s position as CFO for the family business has him seeing things only when it comes to results and when it comes to their chocolate business the business case is evident that it is not profitable. He believes the best course of action is to cease their operations however when he meets Bailey, one of the sisters managing the business, he begins to see that there is a lot he can learn about her when it comes to the business and love.

Managing the chocolate business satisfies Bailey not only professionally but personally as well. When she realizes what Xander’s intentions are she is determined to show him that the business is about much more than results and when he does, he shows her that he is not the unfeeling man that she believes him to be.

Filled with fun, humor and feelings Xander is the perfect mix of sweet and swoony as he soon realizes that the feisty personality of Bailey who challenges him at every turn is exactly who he needs in his life.
