Seventeen year old Talia Asbury is most definitely not a coffee addict, like so many her age. In fact, she is the farthest thing from it. There is nobody who dislikes coffee more than she. So how did she score a job working at the only decent coffee shop in her small town? Her job isn't exactly the brightest thing in her world, but it's something she needs desperately. But enter college freshman Zachary Dunmore, who needs coffee like he needs air. Outgoing, abrasive, and addicted to caffeine, he and Talia don't get along from the start. But when something brings the two together for more than a simple coffee drink at a run-down café, the tables turn and so does their relationship. All he wanted was a café au lait; all she needed was a job.
