Wolf Valley: Grumps

We were always meant to be more than just friends. I’ve been best friends with Foster since I was a kid. I’ve been in love with him for just as long. We’ve always been close. Just not as close as I’d have liked....

I’ve sworn off men. Or I guess I should say that I’ve vowed to never get tangled up with a man. I’ve seen the way that they can hurt the women that they claim to love, and I want no part of it. I’ve never been tempted to break that vow. Until Ransom moves to town. When I give in to my feelings for him, it’s only supposed to be for one night. Everything is going according to plan. Until I get the surprise of my life and find out that I’m pregnant.

When my parents died and left me the wolf sanctuary in Wolf Valley, it was a dream come true for me. Then I started looking at the finances and realized just how screwed I was. The sanctuary is losing money, a lot of money, and I need to come up with some cash fast in order to save it. When some hot shot billionaire shows up in town, I'm not sure what to expect. Our first meeting is magical. I've never felt that way about anyone before. It was just an instant connection.

Life in a small town can suck. Everyone knows everyone else’s business and it can feel like there are no secrets. I’ve managed to keep one though. I’m in love with Ford Miller. I have been since I was a kid, but I never knew how he felt so I kept it to myself. When I started to work for him, keeping that secret became harder. Then my grandma comes back to town, determined to set me up with someone. I know she’s just worried about me, but that doesn’t mean I want her playing matchmaker. So, I come up with a plan. Now, I just need to convince Ford to go along with it.

I never thought that I would fall in love or get married. Not after watching my mom’s marriages fail and being there to help her pick up the pieces afterward. I had sworn off men, which was easy because no man had ever tempted me before. Not until Milo. He makes me want to try. I almost give in to my feelings when tragedy strikes, and I’m forced to sell the only thing that I have. Myself. Milo When I find out that Lilou signed up for an arranged marriage, I freak out.

Who falls in love on vacation?

Lymric: When my best friend convinced me to come visit her in Wolf Valley, I thought that maybe it would be a fresh start. I thought that it would be a chance for me to find some peace and quiet. Instead, I found Camden. Or he found me. It doesn’t matter, the outcome is the same. He says that I’m his. I say that he’s crazy. But what’s crazier, is that I’m starting to believe him.

Camden: As soon as I saw Lymric in town, I knew that she was the one for me.

I have my first-ever crush… on my boss. Sienna: I’ve spent my entire life thinking that there’s something wrong with me because I was never like the other girls my age. I never had crushes or dated growing up. I've never even been interested in anyone. Until him. Kye Lightfield. He’s brooding, moody, and way out of my league. Oh, and he’s also my new boss. Kye: Sienna is perfect. She’s gorgeous and funny and always looks on the bright side. She’s my exact opposite and way out of my league. That doesn’t stop me from wanting her, from needing her.

Buying my first house was supposed to be exciting. And it is… until I meet my next-door neighbor. Meyer West. He’s grumpy, rude, and always stomping around like he has a personal vendetta against the world. I’m determined to ignore him, just like he’s been ignoring me. That is until I get set up on a blind date—with none other than Mr. Grumpy himself.

It’s just a bet… right? Blake: It all started with a harmless bet. I was bored, and there he was—Luca Wright, the new guy in town and the only other person in the diner. So, I challenged him to a race: who could finish their meal first. I won, he paid for my food, and from there, we’ve bet on pretty much everything—Who could finish the hike first, who could make a better meal, who could fit the most marshmallows in their mouths. It’s always been a fun competition between us, but this latest bet feels different, like the stakes are higher, and I’m not sure I’m ready for what comes next.

Moving to Wolf Valley has been quite the adventure so far. Nothing is going according to plan. First, my housing fell through, and I had to scramble to find a new place. Then I got laid off from my job. I’m trying to stay positive, but it’s getting hard. There’s no one for me to turn to for help. Not with my brother halfway around the world and no other living family to rely on. Then I run into Koa, and suddenly things seem to be looking up for me.

I’m in trouble. I’m scrambling to pay my bills and keep my grandmother’s house from being taken by the bank. I’ve tried everything that I can think of, and now I’m desperate. So, I make a post advertising for a roommate. None of the people who contact me seem like a good fit. Until Ledger.

Back in the city, owning a car was optional. Here in the small town of Wolf Valley, though, where snowstorms hit at a moment’s notice, driving is a survival skill. Too bad I never learned. I could have kept my little secret, but then I accidentally confessed it to the grumpiest, broad-shouldered, ridiculously handsome man in town. Now Kian is teaching me to drive in the most secretive late-night lessons ever, and every time he growls “eyes on the road,” all I can think about is him.
