Second Chance with Doctor Grump: An Off-Limits Daddy's Best Friend Small Town Romance

By Christa Reign

A grumpy doctor. His best friend's daughter. An age gap romance built on secrets that could destroy or save them.

Jonathan Noah has built his life on loyalty, discipline, and silence. Behind the walls of his gruff exterior lies a man still haunted by the one woman he could never forget, his best friend's daughter. Forbidden then. Untouchable now.

Sofia Carter has survived heartbreak, built a life for her daughter, and sworn never to look back. But when tragedy pulls her back to her small hometown, she comes face-to-face with the man who once owned her heart...and who still doesn't know the truth she's been hiding for ten years.

Between whispered confessions and stolen glances, old feelings ignite, but so do old fears. Jonathan isn't just older, he's her father's closest friend. The town still whispers, and Sofia's little girl carries eyes that look all too familiar.
