n nI, Tillie Jean Rock, am not in love with my brothers teammate. Sure, he might have those biceps and that I am the grouchiest of grouchy bears smolder, and he might shovel snow off his driveway next door wearing nothing but boxer shorts and rubber boots, and he might be running a side business feeding all the stray goats in town, but studliness is only skin-deep.n n nn nAnd I might flirt with him every chance I get, but I swear its only to annoy my brother.n n nn nAnd him.n n nn nBecause Max Cole?n n nn nUnder all of those glorious muscles and chiseled cheekbones and searing glares beats the heart of a heartless devil.n nI could no sooner fall in love with a guy who treats me like a kid, and judges me at every opportunity, and sets an army of garden gnomes loose on my yard, than I could fall in love with my grandfathers pet parrot.n n nn nBut I can definitely annoy him. I can one hundred percent get on board with annoying him.n n nn nThats what you do when you dont like your neighbor, right?n n nn nBut you know what they say about love and hate...n n nn nIts a very thin line.n n nn nEspecially when the real reason Im not in love with Max Cole-that hes incapable of love-might not be true at all.n n nn nThe Grumpy Player Next door is a fun-filled enemies-to-lovers romcom featuring a ray of sunshine on a mission, an athlete whos only grouchy around her, and an epic prank gone wrong. It stands alone and comes complete with small-town shenanigans, a goat whos not nearly as wise as his name suggests, and proof that sometimes, love is the best kind of vengeance.n
