When a control-freak brewery owner is forced to partner with a prickly master brewer, their business and their hearts will never be the same.

Salty Dog Brewery is Ryan Lee's pride and joy, but he can't run it alone. When his head brewer retires on short notice, Ryan needs a replacement ASAP. Enter sultry, sharp-tongued Lilo, the brewer's daughter and protegee. She's smart, talented, and oh so tempting, but her weird niche beers are the last thing Salty Dog needs.

For the love of her dad, Lilo Eisinger reluctantly puts her ambitions on hold to help Ryan, the smug, handsome jerk she's loathed since middle school. This new partnership could spark medal-winning opportunities for both of them, but her success depends on opening his narrow mind—and resisting the temptation to seduce the boss.

Working side by side ignites sizzling desire. But when a high-stakes craft beer competition arouses their fierce rivalry, can new love survive this battle of wills?
