Sunshine Next Door: A Grumpy-Sunshine Small-Town Slow-Burn Romance

By Eric K

He's the grumpiest man in Maplewood.
She's the sunshine he never asked for-living right next door.

When Emma Hayes trades city noise for small-town charm, the last thing she expects is her brooding neighbor. Noah Reed is as stubborn as the old fence between their yards-rough around the edges, impossible to read, and determined to keep his distance.

But Emma has never been good at staying quiet. With her laughter, kindness, and relentless optimism, she slips past Noah's walls one smile at a time. Soon, the late-night conversations and unexpected sparks become something neither of them can ignore.

The only problem? Noah has spent years keeping his heart locked away, and Emma swore she wasn't looking for love.

In a town where everyone's watching, can a guarded man and a hopeful dreamer learn that sometimes the best kind of love is the one that grows slowly, right next door?

Perfect for fans of small-town romance, grumpy-sunshine banter, and slow-burn chemistry that leads to a heart-melting happily-ever-after.
