Trust fund? Check. Restoration and brewery plans? Check. Grumpy project manager? Sigh...check.
If I wanted to deal with a man just like my uptight dad, I would've told my parents what my brewery plans were. Only I didn't tell anyone. I waited for my trust fund to deliver once I turned twenty-five, and I bought the old train foundry I've been eyeing for years. Then McCoy Cunningham shows up.
I'm told he's the best. He's older than me and knows both side of the business-the restoration and the brewing. But all I've gotten from him are scowls and dismissive grunts. McCoy might think he's the expert, he might look at me like I should be in diapers with pigtails, but he's wrong if he thinks he can bulldoze me.
All it takes is one look. One time I catch him eyeing me with something other than disdain. One conversation where we're geeking out over yeast strains and hops. And one kiss that leads to more.
But I promised myself I'd never settle for a guarded man who thinks he knows everything, especially one who won't put me before business. And after what McCoy's been through, he's all about work. No personal entanglements. I don't want to be left with a broken heart and flat beer once this brewery is finished.
Make Me Exhale is a standalone novel in the Oil Barrons series.
