Gray Sweatpants Season

The weather's cold, she's nose deep in law textbooks, and her new neighbor is a giant distraction wrapped in gray, cotton fleece.

Lottie

Being back in my hometown isn't all it's cracked up to be, even if it's temporary. I thought sleeping on an air mattress in my brother's spare room while I study for the bar exam was a new low...until the date from hell.

When a tall, monosyllabic redwood tree and his friends step in to help, I might be a little intrigued. And a lot smitten.

It turns out Mr. Tall, Dark, and Grumpy is my new neighbor, and I'm not ready for that much jaw-dropping, tug at my insides, light me on fire diversion right next door. The contractor rocks a pair of gray joggers like it should be illegal in multiple jurisdictions.

Now Jack and I are spending some time together, getting closer. What happens when my big goals for life outside this small town mean having to give him up?

Jack

After my ex leaves, it's me, her cat, and my dark thoughts in this dull little duplex. I'm not looking for anyone to drag me out of my pity party...until she walks through the door and steals my breath. I'm not the man who can give Lottie what she wants-what she needs-but after getting to know her inside and out, I want to be.

Thanks to a messy shower mishap, my escape-artist cat, and some steamy study sessions, Lottie and I might be heading toward something much more than neighbors who share a thin wall.

Gray Sweatpants Season is a steamy, small-town standalone novel featuring found family, cozy vibes, and a guaranteed HEA. If you enjoy a grumpy, blue collar, green-flag hero and a smart, confident, curvy heroine, you'll fall in love with Jack and Lottie (and Oscar the cat).
