One locked door. One determined dog. And a grumpy firefighter who can't seem to keep her out of his life-or his heart.

Autumn Ridge thrives on chaos and kindness, whether it's chasing after her mischievous Akita or spreading sunshine in a world that feels too gray. But when her sock-thieving pup drags her into one lockout too many, she finds herself face-to-face with Jake Hunter-the surly firefighter next door who values quiet and order above all else.

Their worlds couldn't be more different, yet every unexpected encounter between the grump and his sunshine leaves a mark. With nosy neighbors, laugh-out-loud antics, and one impossibly thoughtful gesture, Jake starts to wonder if a little chaos might be exactly what his heart needs.

Love has a way of sneaking in, even when the door is firmly closed.

For Jake and Autumn, it might just kick it wide open.

A light-hearted romantic comedy filled with laugh-out-loud antics, puppy love, and neighbors who discover that sometimes, life's sweetest surprises happen when the door's left wide open.
