One family brewery. Three Sullivans who fall spectacularly, inconveniently, and completely in love.
Cascade Brewing has been a Sullivan family legacy for generations—and in Cascade Bay, everyone knows everyone’s business. The marketing director who’s never said what he actually means. The measured, deliberate brother who wakes up in Vegas with a ring on his finger. The brewer who’s spent eleven years pretending she doesn’t have feelings for her oldest brother’s best friend. Each book is its own love story. Each one is messier, funnier, and more honest than the one before.
The brewery survives. The family holds. And all three Sullivans discover that the one thing harder to craft than a perfect beer is the nerve to tell the truth.
Book One
AGAINST THE GRAIN
Finn & Mara
He’s the brewery’s golden boy. She’s been hired to evaluate him. The only thing more explosive than his reputation is the chemistry he’s desperately trying to ignore.
Finn Sullivan has a gift for selling things—including himself. As Cascade Brewing’s marketing director, he’s spent years turning his family’s legacy into a brand and his charm into a career. Then his father hires Mara Whitfield to evaluate the brewery’s operations—and specifically, to evaluate Finn. She’s sharp, she’s unimpressed, and she’s staying in the hotel across from his apartment for the next three weeks.
Finn knows better than to get involved with the woman who holds his future in her clipboard. Mara knows better than to want the man whose dazzling smile hides the fact that he’s never once said what he actually means. But Cascade Bay is small, the brewery is smaller, and proximity has a way of making bad ideas feel inevitable.
As the lines between professional and personal blur, Finn has to decide whether he’s willing to risk everything he’s built—for the one person who’s ever made him want to be honest.

Book Two
HITCHED
Garrett & Isla
Cascade Brewing’s most controlled man wakes up married to a travel writer who lives out of a suitcase. The only thing more complicated than their annulment is pretending the honeymoon didn’t feel real.
Garrett Sullivan doesn’t do spontaneous. He runs the family brewery with the same precision he applies to everything—measured, deliberate, accountable. Then he wakes up in Las Vegas with a ring on his finger and a woman he barely knows in the next room. Isla West is a travel writer who has turned freedom into a religion and commitment into a punchline. She was not supposed to stay. She was definitely not supposed to get married.
But her sponsorship deal requires a honeymoon content series, and Garrett’s investors are watching him for any sign of instability—which means they both need this marriage to look exactly right, for exactly long enough to get back on solid ground. A fake Napa honeymoon. A convincing performance. And a brewing corporate threat that forces them to stop pretending they aren’t in this together.
Garrett has a plan for everything. He doesn’t have a plan for wanting to keep her.

Book Three — Series Finale
LAST CALL
Sloane & Nolan
She’s been in love with her oldest brother’s best friend for eleven years. When she needs a fake boyfriend to save the brewery, pretending turns out to be the easy part.
Sloane Sullivan has spent eleven years being excellent at exactly two things: brewing beer and pretending she doesn’t have feelings for Nolan Reeves. He’s her oldest brother’s best friend. He’s been in her life since she was seventeen. And he has never, not once, looked at her the way she looks at him. Then Margot Finley’s gossip column paints Sloane as the brewery’s liability, and a key investor starts asking questions.
Nolan agrees to help. It starts as scripted hand-holding at industry events. It turns into cohabitation for the sake of appearances. And somewhere between learning each other’s coffee orders and lying convincingly to her brothers, the performance stops feeling like a performance.
Sloane knows the rules of falling for someone who sees you as family. She wrote them herself. She just didn’t plan for Nolan to have been breaking them first.
