Publisher Description
Don't miss the first trip to Moose Falls, Alaska where a down-on-his-luck football player and a sassy restaurant owner find themselves going from enemies to lovers in this small-town romance — perfect for fans of Brenda Novak and Annie Rains!
A small-town restaurateur and a big city former football player go head-to-head in this heartfelt enemies-to-lovers romance . . .
As the oldest of three brothers, former pro-football player Xavier Stone is no stranger to making tough calls. Like returning to his small hometown of Moose Falls, Alaska to help run his grandmother’s hard cider company and gastro pub. He agrees to keep an open mind, but between working with his estranged father and confronting heavy childhood memories with his brothers, Xavier’s ready to rush back to civilization. Even the stunning woman who runs his grandmother’s restaurant seems to instantly dislike him . . .
True Everett knows better than to let a ridiculously handsome man distract her, especially when it’s the same guy who stands between her and owning Northern Exposure, the tavern she manages. She didn’t pour her soul into the restaurant just for Xavier to swoop in and snatch away her dreams. But amid all the barbs—and, fine . . . all the sparks—flying, True glimpses the man beneath the swagger. That version of Xavier, the real one, might just steal True’s heart.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
An athlete butts heads with a restaurateur in this adorable enemies-to-lovers romance from Calhoune (Falling in Love on Sweetwater Lane). Former pro footballer Xavier Stone begrudgingly returns to his hometown of Moose Falls, Alaska, to help run his grandmother's cider company. The town holds painful childhood memories of his father's abandonment and his younger brothers' dependency on Xavier, making him eager to return to "civilization" as soon as possible. Meanwhile, True Everett, who runs Northern Exposure, the restaurant owned by Xavier's grandmother, could not be happier in Moose Falls and worries that Xavier means to swoop in and take over her job. Her immediate disapproval of him sends the pair down a feuding rabbit hole filled with barbed banter and blush-inducing sexual tension. As attraction mounts and they discover they have much in common (like both having raised their younger siblings), can they set aside differences and embrace their feelings for one another? The scenic small-town setting and intense connection between the bickering leads are sure to suck readers in. Calhoune knows how to do cozy.
