Steeped In Problems

What do a sunshine barista and a retired grumpy cop have in common? Even they aren't sure but they're willing to find out...

Kristy Howard left her job at the hospital because she needed a change. Tired of watching people die every day, she wanted an easy, breezy job. That's why becoming a barista at the new coffee shop, the Brave Badge, was perfect. She loves the cozy vibe and friendly customers, but when her ex comes back in to town and brings with him a heap of problems, she realizes that her new boss might be her only way of getting rid of him.

Tanner Blaze never thought he would do anything other than work as a police officer, but when he is injured in a car accident, all that changes. He's discouraged about where his life is going until he hears about Brave Badge Roasting Company and decides to open his own location in Clear Mountain, Colorado. It's far different than working as a beat cop, but he's determined to make it work. He's grateful for Kristy, his loyal barista that seems to be the light in his problem-filled life. So, when she asks him to pretend to be her boyfriend to get rid of her ex, he finds himself agreeing. The only problem with his decision is he quickly figures out he has real feelings for her.

Will Tanner admit his feelings for Kristy? Will Kristy get past Mark's gruff exterior and get him to open his heart? And will Kristy's ex get the hint and leave so they can have a chance at love?
