In this heated rivalry, will love be the final result? After checking her salty attitude and grinding for years, Remi James has worked her way up to become star bartender at an upscale Seattle bar. She’s finally on track for the promotion (and the home loan approval) of her dreams—until Maya Marek walks in. Suddenly, Remi has competition.
