But when she’s forced to visit the local cafe-bookstore, she accidentally finds herself with a new job and one very attractive new boss. Distractions she definitely doesn’t need with her looming deadline…or does she? George O’Grady worked hard to turn Novel Gossip into the cafe-bookstore of her dreams, but staff shortages are putting the normally unflappable lesbian under pressure.

Note to readers: Standalone. This book can be read as a standalone without having read Not Just Gal Pals (Book 1 in the Sapphire Springs series).Content Warning: Difficult family relationships, depictions of anxiety and panic attacks.
