Make Me Stay (June Springs)

By Abby Gilmore

A steamy small-town grumpy sunshine romance about enemies who become partners, walls that come down one sarcastic comment at a time, and a love that's built to last.

She came for a fresh start. He came with a toolbox and opinions. Neither expected to find home in each other.

Maddy Long arrives in June Springs with nothing but a U-Haul, a failed engagement, and enough emotional baggage to sink her inherited lakeside cabin. Her plan? Lay low, lick her wounds, and maybe figure out how to fix a porch without falling through it.

Enter Noah Harris-six feet of scowling intensity wrapped in flannel and armed with opinions about her "city girl" renovation ideas. The town's grumpiest contractor doesn't do sunshine, and he definitely doesn't do neighbors who stress-bake at 3 AM while belting out power ballads.

But when the town council forces them to co-chair the Harvest Festival, Noah and Maddy are stuck in each other's orbit.

Make Me Stay is a steamy small-town romance in the June Springs series. First person, dual POV, with a grumpy sunshine love story that proves the best things are worth fighting for.
