In Charge - ebook

When love is brewing, it could be destiny… or disaster.

Coffee is life. At least, it is for Joanne. As the owner of a small chain of popular coffee shops, she has taken the town of Sweetgum by storm with her rich, earthy brews and savvy business sense. So, when she decides to expand her empire into the neighboring town of Peachwood, Joanne is confident that she has things all under control.

Secure a location? Check.
Start renovations? Check.
Hire an infuriatingly sexy and obstinate manager? Double-check.

Xavier may have dazzled all the patrons with his intense charm and handsome smile, but he can’t seem to remember one simple detail–she’s supposed to be the one in charge.

He defies her at every turn, changing things up and driving her insane. She really should fire him. Trouble is… all his crazy ideas have made business better than ever. But Joanne knows how to run a coffee shop; she doesn’t need him at all.

Right?

Xavier never knew that mutiny could be so much fun.

When he first got wind that someone wanted to buy the old post office, his primary concern was for the town’s wellbeing. Although he’s one of their main real estate investors, he’s got nothing but time to kill. And a secret side project to help make the new coffee shop a success sounds like a fun new diversion.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the beautiful shop owner. Or how she’s driven, organized, easy to provoke, and the most distracting creature he’s ever met.

If he could just get Joanne to loosen up and listen, he knows they could grow the shop–and their relationship–into something special.

But are they too different for this to work? Or can finally admitting their feelings be the beginning of the happiness they both deserve?

If you like sweet, small-town romances with swoony moments and caffeinated characters, you’ll love In Charge.
