A man as roasted as his coffee.
Brian Keppler's in a grind. As owner of Grounds N'at, he barely has time to sleep or eat, let alone a relationship. Then Rob Ancroft, a charming, ginger Brit walks into his shop, and Brian's world tilts on its side.
A recovering workaholic.
Rob, CEO of CirroBot, knows about breaking apart under pressure. The last thing he wants is to watch Brian become as roasted as his espresso. He's in love, but there's only so much help Brian will accept, and watching him crack apart unearths ghosts from Rob's past.
An impossible choice.
Love's on the menu, but so's burnout. As Brian struggles to keep his business afloat, stress fractures the relationship he's building with Rob, and he has to choose between the man he loves or the shop that's his life.
