Jess Jessica O’Neal has been comfortable staying in a loveless relationship for years because it's safe and convenient. However, her mindset begins to shift when her job requires her to work more closely with the grumpy owner of a popular whiskey club in St. Louis. Maverick Arrison clearly doesn’t like her, but Jess is determined to break through his cold exterior with a more subtle approach. Despite their contrasting grumpy and sunshine personalities, they develop an unexpected bond that may be the final motivation Jess needs to leave her dysfunctional relationship. Mav Maverick Arrison cares about only two things: his whiskey and his club. So when Little Miss Sunshine attempts to smile her way into his life, Mav does what he does best—he ignores her. Despite his best efforts, Jessica finds another way to get past his defenses, and soon his resistance crumbles. For the first time in his life, Mav finds someone he wants to spend more than just one night with, but unfortunately for him, Jessica is already taken. Not only is her boyfriend standing in Mav's way, but the thousands of miles of ocean between them may be enough to prevent their friendship from evolving into something more.
