Auburn Ivy runs away from her problems even if it means running away from her family, friends and familiar life. Anthony Kroff is a footballer on the rise but is lonely and lost in the new city he finds himself in. Their lives would have never intertwined if headstrong Auburn and shy Anthony hadn't chosen the same Friday to venture into a side-street cafe. For her it was an escape, for him it was curiosity and together they found something that they hesitated to call love because what if, after everything, they found themselves chasing fool's gold?
Carlotta Garcia is the cafe owner and she is hell-bent on bringing them together but we're getting ahead of ourselves. Let's start at the very start or, if you want me to be truthful, at the very end, with Sabah Taqvi, a bored literature student and desperate romantic.
Previously known as "Coffee Shop Love".

Medium Latte for Ell-yot Hayul
[Slow Brew Series 1 of 2] [Completed] Look, I didn't mean to embarrass myself the first time I walked into Brewing Grounds. Or the second. Or...every other time since. But something about the place-and the barista with the messy ponytail and the glasses that she pushes up her nose-makes me forget how to form actual sentences. Bea. Her name's Bea. She spelled mine wrong on my cup the first day (Ell-yot Hayul), and now I'm kind of obsessed. Not with her. With medium lattes. With her handwriting. With the little hearts she scribbles on my cups. Okay... maybe a little bit with her. The point is: I'm a walking disaster around her, and I'm pretty sure she knows it. And okay, maybe I started showing up every morning at exactly 7:30 just to see her. And maybe I've been reading up on how to flirt because I thought that might help (it hasn't). But honestly, what's the worst that could happen? I embarrass myself again? (Already done that.) Spill coffee on my tie? (Happened last week.) Accidentally fall in love with the barista who writes flirty notes on my coffee cups? Oh, wait...

Worse for Love- Book #3 in the WF Series
Love. A word that never made sense to Ivy Blanchard. Yes, she helps all of her friends with every relationship because she wants to see them happy, but she never really believed in the exaggerated picture of what "love" is. Trusting someone completely by opening up to them has never really amused her, and maybe that's because of what she went through as a little girl. When one day, she gets drunk and calls Kai Hale; one of her cousin's friends, to come and get her, it escalates into a fake relationship that neither of them expected. To convince her friend that she doesn't need help finding love, she decides to create a fake relationship with Kai. Although, the lie only begins to lead into other things that neither one of them realized or were prepared for. Kai is the exact opposite of Ivy. Smiling is second nature to him, and love is definitely something he's always believed in, he just doesn't have enough time for it with his complicated schedule. When Ivy and him begin getting close though, he realizes there definitely is something happening, but convincing Ivy that it's okay to let someone in is harder than he thought it would be. Will he actually get over the wall she's built since she could remember?Complete
