From lemonade stand wars as kids to competing coffee shops as adults, Ben always finds ways to get under my skin. But, no matter how he pushes my buttons, I refuse to let him ruin my business.
Of course, there is the matter of his adorable seven-year-old daughter he’s now struggling to raise on his own. I want to keep him in the familiar enemy-zone, but his little girl is melting my heart.
Thanks to her, I’m beginning to think there’s more to the single dad than meets the eye. Ben has many layers, and I find myself wanting to unravel them. Is it possible he has a kind heart under that cocky façade?
But what if it’s all a trick? Bankrupting my coffee shop, while shattering my heart, would be the ultimate win for him. How can I trust that the attraction between us is real, and not another high-stakes competition?
