Enemies. Rivals. Co-conspirators in caffeine and chaos. When Pelican Point announces a Best New Business competition, brewery owner Merri Gallagher and coffee roaster Wyatt Dalton both expect to win. The problem? They can’t stand each other. After a year of feuding over parking spots, dumpster space, and the town’s thermostat, the judges drop a bombshell, Merri and Wyatt must collaborate on a coffee-beer fusion entry. Now they’re stuck together in her brewery, surrounded by steam, hops, and enough sexual tension to light up the coastal grid. Between prank wars, late-night brewing sessions, and a black lab who’s clearly Team Wyatt, the line between rivalry and attraction blurs fast. But when old wounds resurface and national attention comes calling, they’ll have to decide whether this unexpected brew is just a one-time batch or the start of something built to last. A laugh-out-loud, steamy small-town romance featuring enemies-to-lovers banter, a meddling dog, and a recipe for happily ever after, Pelican Point style.
