Cocktail (McLean)

What happens when you mix a shot of rum with a dash of charm? Audrey just wants to move on and rebuild from a marriage gone wrong. Now she's focused on launching a local rum distillery into the mainstream, proving to her boss, and herself, she can do it all. She certainly doesn't need another guy swooping in, thinking he can save her, no matter how irresistible he-or his smile-is. So, when a one-night stand starts turning into something more, she's determined to enjoy the buzz, but keep away from the hangover. Jackson has the luck of the draw-good looks, charm, a hit TV show-and whenever he's not chasing his next star turn, he's getting some action off the screen. He's set … or so he thought. For the first time, he's tempted to ask a woman for more than one night, but she's already decided he's better cast as the playboy Casanova than the man at the end of the aisle. While Jackson's intent on proving to Audrey he's the one for her, she's looking for every way he's not. **Love and Rum is a steamy, low angst contemporary romance. It features an independent thirty-something heroine, a gorgeous tv star hero and a guaranteed happily ever after. Sit back, grab a drink, and fall in love.

A spicy woman. A sour man. Perfect ingredients for romance-or a recipe for disaster? Tiffany Young is many things. Snarky? Yep. In your face? Totally. A huge, fearless, bisexual whirlwind packed into a tiny body? That, too. But the one thing she isn't is a doormat. So, she has no intention of meekly obeying her smug new boss…no matter how sexy the jerk is. Sam Cooper is not having a good year. His ex made sure of that. Now, all he has left is his brother's bar and the determination to make it work. He's not going to let anything get in his way-least of all the strong, gorgeous, head bartender who won't get off his back…or out of his head. When their fighting threatens to ruin the bar they both love, will these polar opposites be able to work together, save the bar, and fall in love while they're at it? Maybe…with a little luck and a lot of cocktails…
