"I sit on one of the stools at the counter with the newspaper in front of me as the door opens. I lift my gaze and there he stands again. His dense hickory toned hair all ruffled, those brown eyes that make me unbalanced when he sizes me up, a nice big coarse beard on his chin. I feel my body beginning to heat up. "You know Rise & Grind, is a funny name for a coffee shop", he starts as he's comes over to the counter jangling his keys. "How so?" I wonder. "Well just listen, Rise", he makes a little paus "and Grind." "You have a dirty mind Xavier", I say with a bright smile, I can't help myself." Xavier Clint is an alt country star with a bad reputation, one bottle away from a burn out. Chris Severson is a small town barista. She has a wish. Then their worlds collide... He is breaking all her rules and she is rearrangeing his heart.

*****This is a sequel***** ***I recommend that you read Rise & Grind first*** I stand in the doorway peaking at him not wanting him to know I'm here. "I'm not talking to you until you sober up Chris", he mumbles. My heart throbs and I step into the room. Xavier gasps when his eyes trails from my bare feet up to my knees and then sees me in the white bath towel. "Fuck, that's so unfair you know", he lets out. "I'm gonna do whatever it takes to get you back but I'm not taking advantage of you when you're drunk, even if you're looking like a hot mess right now." I bite my lower lip gazing at him. Small town girl Chris Severson's heart got splintered. Alt Country star Xavier Clint's heart got rearranged. Two friends, two lovers. He challanges her... and she put him to the test. Feelings are moveing back and forth once again. 9th of May 2018 { #19 in adultromance } { #87 in contemporary } { #35 in country music } 13th of May 2018 {#1 coffeelover} {#3 in adultromance} {#28 country music} {#68 in contemporary} {#69 in sexscenes} 6th of June 2018 {#3 adultromance} {#9 country music}
