When Gracie Met the Grump – Mariana Zapata

Nobody does slow burn quite like Mariana Zapata — and When Gracie Met the Grump is no exception.

Gracie is warm, patient, and endlessly optimistic. He is gruff, guarded, and absolutely not interested in being charmed. But Zapata’s signature slow-burn magic means you’ll be holding your breath for every stolen glance, every reluctant conversation, every moment the walls start to crack. This is the kind of romance you savour, not rush.

Popular with readers who love Zapata’s other beloved titles like Wait for It, From Lukov with Love, and The Wall of Winnipeg and Me. Trending among BookTok readers who live for the slow-burn, grumpy-sunshine, and found-family tropes.
