I was the Runaway Bride of Calico Cove—which, sure, wasn’t my finest moment, but now I desperately need someone to rescue me from my conniving family.
My unlikely hero? Roy Barnes, the grumpiest fisherman in town who recently became the guardian of his orphaned baby niece. We are a match made in marriage-of-convenience heaven: he protects me from my furious father, and I help him with baby Nora. Perfect, right? Wrong. Because our fake marriage isn’t about love—it can’t be about love. Those are the ground rules. Except everyone knows rules are meant to be broken. In addition to the runaway bride and grumpy single dad, The Grump, The Bride & The Baby contains a kleptomaniac baby who refuses to eat her vegetables, a storm at sea, and a damsel in distress who learns how to save herself.
