Falling for the Grumpy Billionaire
(2026)(The first book in the CLOSR series)
A novel by Ashley Zakrzewski
He built an app to protect people from heartbreak.
He didn’t plan on it breaking his own rules.
As the ice-cold CEO of CLOSr, he believes emotional distance is the key to success. Vulnerability is a liability. Love is a distraction. And letting people get too close? A mistake he’s never made twice.
Until he’s anonymously matched with a woman who sees straight through him.
She doesn’t know his name.
She doesn’t know his net worth.
She only knows the voice that makes her feel understood for the first time in years.
When the truth comes out, the rules he built his empire on begin to collapse—and the one connection he never meant to make may cost him everything.
A grumpy billionaire, a sunshine heroine, and the app that forces them closer than either is ready for.
Tropes include:
