Salty Dog Brewery is Ryan’s pride and joy, but he can’t run it alone. When his head brewer retires on short notice, Ryan needs a replacement ASAP. Enter sultry, sharp-tongued Lilo. She’s smart, talented, and oh so enticing, but her weird niche beers are the last thing Salty Dog needs.
Because their partnership could spark medal-winning opportunities, Lilo reluctantly agrees to help the smug, handsome jerk she’s loathed since middle school. But her success depends on opening his narrow mind—and resisting the temptation to seduce her new boss.
Their forced proximity ignites sizzling desire. But when a high-stakes craft beer competition arouses their fierce rivalry, can their hearts and their brewery survive this battle of wills?
Come to Trappers Cove for a cozy, funny, spicy, enemies-to-lovers, workplace romance novella set in a beach town you’ll want to visit again and again.
