He likes his coffee black; she...
She's embittered by her past, he's sweet behind a mask.
Brianna Winters did not intend to piss off Noah Sterling with her fiery attitude. The world has bigger problems to deal with, and she would rather spend her time on those than breaking down this infuriating man's ego. Devastatingly handsome, and armed with a devil-may care attitude, he's making it his personal mission to change her mind, one cup of coffee at a time. While Brianna is struggling to hide their clandestine meetings from her air headed friend Eleanor, whose obsession with Noah is bringing her closer to ruination, Noah is struggling to put his past behind him. He's is willing to do what it takes to keep Brianna close, but she has her own demons to fight before she can learn to love him, no matter how deeply she is physically attracted to him.

This one is for NANDASHREE without whom this story would have remained hidden in the pages of an old notebook, with glitter smudged on the sheets where I scribbled run-on sentences (much like this one) and struggled to write the word "embarrassing" correctly. Unfortunately, I've still not learnt. 🙈
This one is for DarlaCassic who, in all honesty, is a goddess, and I am lucky to call her my friend. I know I don't always make sense, and sometimes I do things that are borderline psycho, but thank you for tolerating all of that. I'm also planning on starting a cult in her name, so if you're interested, PM me :) 👼
This one is for Winterlove63 and ShwetaReads, who are my first family away from home. They've kept me going through some tough times, and it is solely because of them I am a 100% more confident drunk texter now. 🥰
This one is for Khush, who supports me like no other
This one is for Brianna and Noah, who waited for nearly four years in the pages of a notebook, biding their time till I was ready to bring them forward to the world. They've dealt with my messy handwriting, coffee stains and multiple rounds of name changes to come to this point, and I love them for everything they are. 🤍

This story is far from perfection, and I am working on editing it as I upload chapters here. Feel free to point out any errors I have made, things I might have missed out on, and I will forever be grateful to you!
