Welcome to Kissing Creek, where everything has a romance-themed pun for a name and love is lurking around every corner... Audrey Miller doesn't believe in happily-ever-after, so she is definitely living in the wrong town. But she's never getting out of Kissing Creek, because playing pseudo-mom for her younger siblings doesn't leave time for much else. She'll do anything to make sure they don't end up stuck like she is, working as a barista in a college town, serving Pink Passion mochas with Chocolate Smooch donuts. Then Ronan Walsh, a new young professor and walking cliché, right down to the elbow patches on his blazer, steps in for a coffee and into her life. She knows his type-intelligent and charming, yet sweet as a cinnamon roll, the sort of man she's inevitably attracted to but is always out of her league. So why does someone like him have any interest in a worker bee with no future? Her bland-as-oatmeal existence has nothing to offer, but Ronan's temporary teaching position is only a stepping stone on his way to somewhere else. He isn't here to put down roots, Audrey's roots are firmly planted-neither of them is looking for love. And maybe that's just perfect. But in a small town called Kissing Creek, sometimes love can be impossible to avoid...
