Book 7 in Angel's Peak · Small-town romance · Guaranteed HEA
About the book
Hero: Max Lawson, the founder of a tech company called Nexus Systems
Heroine: Lily Brock, owner of the Mountain Brew coffee shop
I came to Angel's Peak to disappear.
Three weeks. That's all I need. Finish the app, survive the launch, and get back to a life that stopped feeling like mine somewhere between the Series B funding and my third sleepless week.
I didn't plan on her.
Lily Brock. Owner of Mountain Brew. Warm smile, wicked wit, and the kind of presence that makes a corner booth feel like the center of the universe. I crashed into her on day one—literally—sent her carefully curated display flying and earned myself a glare that should have ended any interest right there.
It didn't.
Now I'm back every morning, claiming I need the perfect workspace, pretending I don't watch the door until she walks through it. Her cinnamon lattes are legendary. Her laugh rewrites my entire nervous system.
Then the winter storm traps us together overnight. One coffee shop. One fire. And walls that crumble faster than either of us expected.
Lily doesn't trust tourists. I'm the definition of temporary—Silicon Valley address, high-profile launch, a life that doesn't fit in a mountain town.
