How to Break My Heart: A Novel

A cozy and steamy enemies-to-lovers romance following a small-town café owner and her best friend’s billionaire brother as they’re forced to work together to plan a wedding.

Eva Woods is perfectly content with her quiet life in the picturesque town of Cinnamon Springs, where she owns a café infamous for its mouthwatering donuts. There’s even a cute new doctor in town that has caught the eyes of everyone, Eva included. But when her best friend, Maddy, asks Eva to join forces with her brother for the sake of her upcoming wedding, Eva’s quaint life is upended. Cold and rigid, Aston is the man who broke Eva’s heart back in high school. He’s also one of the country’s hottest billionaires. With both Aston and Eva trying to outdo each other and stake claim as Maddy’s right hand man, the competition heats up. But as their annoyance grows, so does their attraction, and when they share a kiss, everything changes. Suddenly, Eva isn’t so sure about where she stands with Aston. And with Maddy’s wedding fast approaching, their time together is dwindling until Aston returns to his life in New York. Will Eva survive this wedding with her heart intact? Or is she setting herself up for heartbreak…again?
