Description
I’ve just uprooted my life, moving to a new town to live out my dream of owning a cute little coffee shop. I’m ready to start over, swearing off anything that causes me stress. It’s time to live my best life.The first person I meet is Grady Carter. He owns the bakery across the street, and I swear he’s out to ruin this whole experience for me.I paint my windows; he paints his. I update my outdoor seating; he gives the entire front of his shop a facelift. I come up with fun, daily drinks; he does the same with bakes, claiming it’s to send customers my way.So, when it comes time for us to compete against each other in the town-wide Valentine’s Day sweet treat competition, I’m ready to take him down.But Agatha, the festival organizer and town gossip, decides this is her time to shine. She loves playing matchmaker, and Grady and I are the next on her list.Forced to work together, lines begin to blur, and that hate I’ve always felt for him starts to morph into something else, something I was determined not to feel again. I just hope I can make it out, heart unscathed and victory secured.It can’t be that hard…right?
