For attendees to the Ashland Public Library Event with Dana Hawkins on April 8, the author will be signing bookplates for every book ordered through Aesop's Fable. Free-spirited coffee shop owner meets uptight coffee addict. Is an opposites-attract match brewing... or burning? Crushed under the weight of writer's block and a looming deadline, Mack escapes from New York to Seattle. She meets Charlie, a beautiful, generous, nearly bankrupt coffee shop owner recovering from heartbreak. For the first time, Mack has a muse. And then Mack starts using Charlie's private stories in her novel... When a storm traps Mack and Charlie in the coffee shop, they share a mind-bending, knee-shaking kiss. But Charlie is an eternal optimist who sleeps with fairy-lights on, while Mack is an ironing-at-5am worrier who sleeps with... everyone. They could never turn this chemistry into something real, right? And if Charlie finds out what Mack has been doing, turning Charlie's most intimate secrets into a juicy page-turner, will they even have a chance to try? A swoony, steamy queer romcom perfect for fans of Ashley Herring Blake, Casey McQuiston, and Alexis Hall. Paperback: 304 pages Publisher: Storm Publishing (January 31, 2024) ISBN-13: 978-1805082064
