Curvy Tames Grumpy Neighbor
(2025)(The second book in the Irresistible Curves Chronicles series)
A Story by Jess Winters
He’s grumpy, guarded, and immune to sweetness—until she shows up with cookies and curves.
Antoinette Wiza lives for sugar, sass, and second chances.
Her bakery, Wiza’s Sweet Haven, is her heart.
So is feeding the town—one gooey cinnamon roll at a time.
Then he stomps in.
Orville Goldner. Brooding. Built. Borderline rude.
And definitely not a fan of sprinkles—or small talk.
But when his bubbly sister drags him into Antoinette’s world, sparks fly faster than her mixer can whip cream.
Every glare he throws is met with a smile.
Every grumble, a flirt.
Until one late-night taste test turns into something a whole lot hotter.
She’s warmth, sunshine, and everything Orville swore he didn’t need.
He’s rough edges, hidden pain, and way too tempting for her own good.
As his past threatens to pull him back into the dark, Antoinette’s left wondering—
Can love really fix a man who’s convinced he’s too broken?
Or will she be just another sweet thing he walks away from?
Curvy Tames Grumpy Neighbor is a slow-burn, sugar-and-steam romance where a bold, curvy baker proves even the grumpiest heart can rise again—with just the right touch.
