About this audiobook

Grumpy billionaire farmer. A sunshine author with secrets. A fake engagement that’s about to feel too real. Max Donovan walked away from the high-stakes world of finance to raise his kids and grow organic food in peace. But peace is hard to come by when the town’s local paper—and its too-curious editor—starts poking into his past. Elle Sinclair is hiding more than her true feelings for Max. She’s a bestselling fantasy author incognito, and when a fake engagement with her grumpy neighbor becomes the only way to save her job, she agrees… reluctantly. As family, secrets, and a scandal rock their small town, Max and Elle will have to choose: keep pretending—or face the truth and risk everything for love. Sunshine Wakes Up Grumpy is a witty, heartfelt small-town romance about truth, second chances, and the power of authenticity. It is a slow burn, open door and earned connection relationship story between two billionaires. Perfect for fans of Lucy Score, Abby Jimenez, and Katherine Center.
