Sarah's small-town coffee shop, Daisy Ridge Coffee Co., is more than just her business- it's her heart and soul. A place where flowers decorate every table and the customers are just as unique as the drinks she crafts. As a self-proclaimed introvert, Sarah takes pleasure in the simple things: a good book, cuddling with her cat Trixie, and watching classic rom-com movies.
But when the equivalent of a human Americano walks into her shop, Sarah finds herself intrigued by him. That is, until she learns that Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome is actually the one in charge of building a major coffee chain right down the road from hers. Sarah refuses to let something she built from the ground up be destroyed by a soulless coffee conglomerate, even if it means sacrificing her heart to do it.
Ethan never wanted this life. Taking over his late father's construction business was a duty, not a dream. Ethan's only goal is to keep it afloat until one of his younger brothers can assume the mantle as head of the company. His latest project? A coffee chain set to open in Daisy Ridge.
He's ready to get in, get out, and move on- until he meets Sarah, the gorgeous woman who has the unfortunate job of owning a competing coffee shop. Ethan's drawn to her, but when their meet-cute takes an unexpected turn, Ethan realizes that she might just be the spark his life was missing. And he'll do whatever it takes-including pretending to be someone else-to get her back.
