Grumpy Hearts and Cupcakes
(2025)(The first book in the Thunder Ridge MC series)
A novel by Harley Storm
He's the grumpiest man in Thunder Ridge. She's sunshine incarnate with a cupcake addiction.
Caspian "Reaper" Thornfield has spent eight years perfecting the art of scowling at anything cheerful. As president of Thunder Ridge MC, he protects their small mountain town with military precision and zero tolerance for optimism. Especially the aggressive kind that comes with rainbow decorations and inspirational quotes.
Then Seraphina Brightwell opens her bakery right on his patrol route.
With her relentless kindness and weaponized cupcakes, she's everything he's spent years avoiding. But when she leaves a "Smile! You're Amazing!" cupcake on his motorcycle, something cracks in his carefully constructed armor.
Seraphina knows a wounded heart when she sees one. Beneath Caspian's intimidating exterior is a man who's forgotten he deserves good things. She's determined to remind him—one cupcake at a time.
But when a rival motorcycle club threatens their town's harvest festival, Seraphina becomes a target. Suddenly, the grumpy protector who kept everyone at arm's length will risk everything to keep his sunshine safe.
Some men are too damaged for love. Others just need the right woman to show them that broken things can be beautiful.
Can a sunshine baker melt the iciest heart in Colorado? And when danger arrives in Thunder Ridge, will love be enough to protect what they're building together?
Genre: Romantic Suspense
