Not in the Plan : A totally addictive and consuming lesbian romance

Free-spirited coffee shop owner meets uptight coffee addict. Is an opposites-attract match brewing… or burning?

Charlie never planned on falling for anyone again. After a messy divorce, she’s focused on making her Seattle coffee shop a success. But when Mack, a mysterious writer, starts using the cafe as her office, Charlie finds herself drawn to the gorgeous stranger.

Mack is in Seattle to finish her novel, no distractions allowed. Yet she can’t resist Charlie’s warmth and charm, or help the way some of Charlie’s childhood stories start slipping into her manuscript. When a storm traps Mack and Charlie in the coffee shop, they share a mind-bending, knee-shaking kiss. But Charlie is an eternal optimist who sleeps with fairy-lights on, while Mack is an ironing-at-5am worrier who is keeping a terrible secret from the woman she’s falling for…

When the truth comes out, both women must decide if their budding romance is worth fighting for. Can Charlie learn to trust her heart again? And will Mack choose love over her career?

A swoony, steamy queer romcom set against the cozy backdrop of a quirky coffee shop, this opposites-attract romance brims with humor, heat, and the magic of unexpected love. Perfect for fans of Ashley Herring Blake, Casey McQuiston, and Alexis Hall.
