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...

Unexpectedly You
Hunter Blake has always kept to himself-laid-back, sarcastic, and perfectly content to stay in his own lane. Parties? Chaos? Attention? Not his style but when a crowded, noisy house party throws him into the orbit of Willow Carrington, the quiet, careful woman he's noticed from afar for years, something unexpected happens. Willow has lived a sheltered, orderly life, meticulously planning every step. A loud party is the last place she thought she'd feel at ease... until Hunter quietly offers her a corner away from the chaos. What starts as a simple conversation between two people who've always seen each other but never spoken quickly turns into laughter, flirtation, and sparks neither of them anticipated. Amid spilled drinks, noisy friends, and the messiness of a wild night, Hunter and Willow discover that sometimes the most meaningful connections happen when you least expect them-and in the quiet moments away from the crowd, love finds its way. Unexpectedly You is a heartwarming, slow-burn rom-com about noticing the right person at exactly the wrong-or perfectly right-time.

Their history? Complicated. Their chemistry? Unavoidable. When Montana rolls back into town, the last thing she wants is trouble-especially not the kind that looks like Abe Duke. But sparks fly, tempers flare, and love might just be the biggest rodeo of them all. If you love small towns, slow burns, banter that bites, and cowboys who fall hard, this one's for you.

Abe's broody, built like sin, and owns the one bar she swore she'd never step foot in again. Too bad sparks fly hotter than a summer bonfire the second they're in the same room. Enemies? Absolutely. Lovers? Eventually. Trouble? Oh, definitely. Dirty looks turn to dirty thoughts in this steamy small-town standoff. He's all grit. She's all fire. Together? They're combustible.
