When Blaire opens her Instagram-perfect cupcake and cocktail shop, the last thing she expects is for a swoon-worthy sports bar owner to launch right next door on the same day—and suddenly her carefully curated dreams are under threat. What starts as a deliciously competitive rivalry filled with frosting contests and playful sabotage quickly heats up when an outside threat forces them to team up, and Blaire discovers there's way more to Ronan than his annoyingly charming exterior. As they work together, the banter becomes flirtation, and the chemistry they've been fighting becomes impossible to ignore. Perfect for anyone who loves a good enemies-to-lovers story wrapped in humor, hijinks, and the kind of tension that makes you swoon.
