Make Me Exhale

I’ve got my trust fund and my plans to restore an old train foundry into a brewery. What do I do with the grumpy project manager?

From Marie Johnston comes a small town, grumpy/sunshine romance.

I’m told my project manager is the best. He’s experienced in both sides 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 geek out over yeast strains and hops. One kiss that leads to more.

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 refuse to fall for his brooding expression and wide shoulders and considerate gestures. The last thing I need during this renovation is to be left with flat beer and a broken heart.

Make Me Exhale is a standalone novel in the Coal Haven series, formlerly titled the Oil Barrons series.
