Fifi Harper has never met a challenge she couldn’t charm her way through. As the bubbly, mischief-making Harper sibling, she thrives on making people smile—even the most stubborn, scowling, emotionally unavailable guests who book a two-week stay and seem allergic to fun.
And that is precisely who Arlo Jensen is… in addition to being tall, brooding, and built like a lumberjack, he is absolutely grumpy, which is something Fifi refuses to accept.
Not at her lodge. After all, her mission is to make guests at the Honey Leaf Lodge feel welcome.
And Fifi never met a challenge she didn’t accept, even if it’s making the brooding and mysterious lodge guest turn his frown upside down.
Fifi makes it her mission to wear him down—with cookies, relentless small-town hospitality, and maybe a few well-placed accidental encounters. After all, she’s learned a thing or two from her book club.
But the more time she spends with him, the more she realizes Arlo isn’t just hiding behind his gruffness—he’s hiding something real.
And the closer she gets, the more she finds herself falling—fast.
But when the truth about Arlo’s past comes out, Fifi has to decide—does she fight for the man who never planned to stay, or protect her own heart before it’s too late?
