Coble Coffee

After a frustrating series of bad dates, Vivian Carmichael has concocted a plan for turning around her romantic life. She wants someone with confidence and experience, a man who really has his life together. So, she's going to start dating older men. Okay, fine. She actually just wants one man. Rick Grant, the hot novelist who spends hours writing at her favorite coffee shop. But she can't have him. In fact, she desperately needs to get over him, so she's going to find someone else in his age range and fall for him instead. If Rick can introduce her to some of his friends, that will expedite matters. After all, he's not interested in her, so it's not like he'll get jealous when she starts to date one of his friends. Even if her plan doesn't go exactly the way she intends, she might still end up finding the love of her life.

Megan spent most of her life in love with Tyler Carmichael, her best friend's older brother, but she's not in love with him anymore. She grew up. She traveled and changed and had her own life experiences, letting go of her silly infatuation. Now she's back in her hometown to work on her degree, and she's ready for a romantic relationship at last. The only problem is she's never had one before, and at twenty-five she feels clueless and out of her depth. So, what better way to learn some best practices in romance than take lessons from a master dater. Tyler himself. If anyone can teach her how to attract a man, it's him. First, she'll have to convince him to do it. And then she'll have to make sure she doesn't accidentally fall in love with him again.

Britt is used to everyone liking her, and she prefers it that way. She's a sunny, outgoing person, and she's good at making other people laugh and smile. The only person she's never had success with is Nash Coble, her friend's boss and the owner of her favorite coffee shop. Nash is a good guy at heart, but he's also a perpetual grump whose only facial expression is a scowl. Britt's inability to get him to like her is starting to bother her. A lot. So, encouraged by a challenge from her friends, Britt is on a mission to get Nash to change his mind about her. She just wants to get him to like her. She has absolutely no intention of falling in love.
