Reopening my family's old tavern was supposed to be my fresh start-an escape from the wreckage of my past. But with peeling wallpaper, sagging beams, and a rival determined to crush my dreams, it's clear I'm in over my head. Just when I thought I had everything under control, Jake-the ex I never quite got over-strolls back into my life, stirring up feelings I'd buried with the old barstools. And as if that weren't enough, a local brewing mogul makes me an offer I definitely can refuse... unless I want to risk losing it all. As tensions brew and old flames spark, I find myself at a crossroads: do I fight to build the life I've always dreamed of, or do I run before everything-including my heart-comes crashing down?
