Snowed in with the Grump by Fern Fraser
Ava
I’ve been in love with my best friend’s older brother for years. Unrequited and very much a secret, I’ve been content only to share my feelings in the letters I wrote him. For five years, Carter served overseas, and I poured my affection and concern into unsent notes I foolishly hid in his family’s mountain cabin. The very place where Carter plans to stay once he returns stateside. I need to find the letters before anyone else, especially before the man who holds my heart discovers my secret.
Carter
I never imagined that when I retired from the military, I’d have to do it like this. Scarred and broken and unfit for the beautiful things in this world. Which is exactly what I find in my family’s old cabin, in the form of my sister’s tempting best friend, Ava. Suddenly, we’re snowed in together, and I’m struggling to remember why I’m supposed to keep my hands to myself. I’m too damaged to deserve Ava’s sunshine, but she’s got me hoping for a Christmas miracle.
Tropes: ex-military, best friend’s brother, secret love letters, grumpy/sunshine, protective hero, snowed in during a storm.
