Beauty and the Beefcake - Grant Pippa

Ares Berger is completely, totally, and in all other ways off-limits.

He's my brother's teammate. He speaks even less than his pet monkey. (Yes, I mean monkey. That's not a euphemism.) He's stubborn, injured, silent, broody, and unfortunately, my new roommate.

Yes, yes, it's lovely to have another person in the house when my ex-boyfriend starts making threats. And fine, the monkey is amusing. But my real problem with having Ares Berger right down the hall?

He's intriguing. And undeniably attractive. And the more time we spend together, the more I realize this silent giant has more to say than anyone gives him credit for.

And his sense of humor?

Someone catch me.

I'm falling.

I'm falling hard.

But how can I convince a man who's never truly been seen that I'm the one who wants to not only know him, but also love him?

Beauty and the Beefcake is a vegan-friendly standalone romantic comedy featuring an athlete whose vocabulary is the only thing smaller than a hockey puck, a book smart but aimless hockey lover, a dilapidated old house that may or may not be haunted, and no cheating or cliffhangers.
