Love was never on tap-until her...
Sam Crowley dates with purpose. After years in a relationship that left her feeling unseen, untouched, and utterly exhausted, she's rebuilding her life one intentional choice at a time-thriving indie bookshop, check. No-BS dating philosophy, check. Absolutely no time for bearded, motorcycle-riding bad decisions who look like they bench press kegs for fun? Double check.
Zach Muir doesn't do relationships. Not after his first serious one left him feeling like a walking wallet with a nice smile and muscles. These days, he keeps things simple: no strings and definitely no feelings. Just filthy flirtation and toe-curling pleasure. Until Sam.
She's five-feet-one of boss energy, biting wit, and bookish sass-and she sees right through his best defenses. What starts as a flirtation they both pretend they can handle turns into something neither of them is ready for. Sam's trying not to fall too fast. Zach's trying not to fall at all. And the sex? Utterly filthy in the very best way.
But Sam wants more than heat. She wants honesty. Vulnerability. The kind of love you build something on. And when she discovers Zach's been lying to her all along, it's not just her trust that crumbles-it's the fragile future they were starting to imagine.
To win her back, Zach will have to do more than grovel. He'll have to offer her everything he's spent years protecting-including the truth. And maybe even a grand gesture worthy of her wildest dreams.
Big on heat. Bigger on heart. Brewed Awakening is a spicy grumpy/sunshine contemporary romance about trust, truth, and finding the kind of love you don't bottle up. Love that's messy and real.
This steamy grumpy/sunshine romance features a no-nonsense bookseller and a commitment-phobe brewmaster whose explosive connection upends their rules, and their lives, in the heart of Baltimore's world of indie bookshops and craft breweries.
