For Olivia Reed, order is everything. As the meticulous manager of The Daily Grind, her coffee shop is a sanctuary of perfectly frothed milk and spreadsheets. That is, until the owners hire Ben Carter—a laid-back, annoyingly charismatic coffee roaster with a talent for improvisation and an infuriating habit of leaving his tools everywhere. He’s chaos in a flannel shirt, and he’s her new business partner. Their daily clashes over bean sourcing and playlists are legendary, a simmering war of wills across the espresso machine. But when a burst pipe forces them to share a tiny temporary office, their forced proximity turns cold brews into heated arguments, and those arguments into something dangerously like chemistry. Now, Olivia is facing the ultimate spill: the rigid world she’s built is crumbling, and the one person threatening her peace might be the only one who truly sees her. Can two opposites find a blend that works, or will their perfect recipe end in professional and personal disaster?
