Bean & Biscuit was never supposed to catch fire. But neither was Jules’s heart. Jules Ramirez has everything she needs: a cozy neighborhood café, a cranky black cat named Tony, and just enough sass to keep the espresso flowing and her past firmly behind her.

And with it comes Dax Maddox: reckless firefighter, motorcycle enthusiast, and the kind of man who walks into your café like he owns the place… and somehow wins over the cat who hates everyone. She’s caffeine and control.
