My heart stopped when her beautiful gaze locked with mine.

On one rugged inhale, I knew I wanted to be part of her world.

But I’ve been burned before.

Dumped at the altar, heartbroken and humiliated, I paid the price for loving blind.

Today I’m a forty year old billionaire with a heart set in stone.

Grumpy? Maybe. But what other option do I have?

Grumpy is what keeps people away.

Now my insanely gorgeous, much younger neighbor is threatening to break my defenses down.

Torn between attraction and fear to love, every day it gets harder to resist her pull.

All I want is to surrender to the burning need to make her mine.

But I won’t risk my heart again unless this time it’s for keeps.
