Blue-haired, buxom, and bodacious, server Rosie can’t lose her job at Bangers Tavern, where her work family adores her weirdness and supports her hunt for a tattoo apprenticeship. When too much New Year’s bubbly tumbles her into a sweet, shy coworker’s bed, he wants more. So does she, but how could such a mismatched couple ever last?
Strait-laced, soft-spoken, and skinny, barback Eddie has been crushing on his curvy, tattooed coworker since forever. Her New Year’s surprise is a dream come true—until his grandmother walks in on them. Eddie begs Rosie to fake-date him to appease his old-fashioned family. Just a few weeks—what could happen? But the more time he spends with Rosie, the deeper he falls.
Their boss lays down the law: No relationship drama at work, or you’re fired. Rosie’s everything Eddie ever wanted—but to keep her, he’ll have to drop a terrifying truth bomb on his loving but stifling family.
Come back to Tacoma’s Bangers Tavern for a steamy opposites-attract romance that ignites in all the worst ways—and the best!
