Clara Brooks has always hated the way Theo Hayes has been a complete jerk to her-ever since middle school. But what she hates most? That smirk. The one that makes her knees cave no matter how hard she tries to ignore him. So when Theo walks into Clara's favorite coffee shop and is offered a job... her fury is instant. Now, she has to endure awkward shifts, close quarters, and all the little ways he still manages to get under her skin. And somehow, amidst spilled lattes, stolen glances, and too-close moments, Clara starts to wonder: maybe Theo isn't just the annoying boy she thought he was... maybe he's been her favorite distraction all along.
