Love at First Sip

2024

Everyone has a first love… Being an overachiever, Deanna York had two. Gavin Winston and coffee. Excited to be moving back to her hometown to open up her own coffee shop, Deanna’s looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones. The only thing she’s not too thrilled about is running into Gavin. Although he'd made her heart flutter many years ago, the two of them had wanted different things in life. And living in the big city hadn't been one of them. Deanna York may have been the one that got away, but Gavin Winston hasn’t gone a day since she left without thinking about her. Which probably explains why he’s still single all these years later. No one wants to date someone who’s hung up on their high school sweetheart. That, and the fact he’s up at the crack of dawn every day. When she finds out Gavin will be the one delivering fresh milk to the shop, Deanna is more than a little nervous about seeing him again. So nervous, she nearly spills a cup of hot coffee on him the morning they come face to face. Though they're both older now, there’s no denying the butterflies that have found their way back again. Gavin knows that getting a second chance with Deanna would make his life complete. Determined to reunite with her and give what they once had a second go, he'll stop at nothing to win her back. Including delivering spoiled milk and shorting her order. Instead of calling him for help, she’s calling to let him know he's been replaced! With lots of witty banter and laugh-out-loud moments, Love at First Sip will have you begging for these two their happily-ever-after.

By Any Beans Necessary

2024

What do a barista and a bartender have in common? Nothing if you ask these two mortal enemies... Michelle Kenney loves her cozy corner of nirvana…or as everyone else calls it, The Coffee Loft on Main Street. She's great at greeting every customer with a warm smile and friendly hello, listening and offering advice when asked, and making the strongest cup of java you can find. But if there is one thing that she isn’t so great at, it's dating. Her broken picker always manages to go for the very worst kind of guy. At the top of that list is Jeff Parker; a gruff bartender who seems more likely to start a scuffle than break one up, which causes Michelle to do a double take when she overhears he’s joining the local search and rescue academy. All Jeff Parker wants is a beer in his hand, a football game on the TV, and enough tips to tide him over until his next payday. But lately, he’s wondering if there’s more to life than just serving liquor and picking up on local barflies. After seeing his two best friends turn their lives around for the better, it finally dawns on Jeff that maybe it's time for him to make some changes, too. Of course, he knows everyone in town will think he’s crazy when he tells them he wants to become a K9 handler, not least Michelle Kenney, the local coffee shop owner he dated and dumped after only a couple of weeks. Will Michelle take a risk and give Jeff a second shot? Will Jeff be able to replace old habits with new ones and not go back to his old ways? And will these two foes find a way to laugh off their differences to make room for love?
