RosemarieCarlisle swore she was done being told what to do…
After years working at the Chicago Starbucks Reserve and perfecting her signature coffee-and-cocktail fusions, all she’s ever wanted is a café of her own—somewhere quiet, warm, and hers.
But when her influential family arranges a forced marriage to ‘secure the brand’ before Valentine’s Day, Rosemarie does the only thing that makes sense.
She runs.
Oakridge Hollow isn’t on any map she meant to follow, but the sleepy town welcomes her with open arms, nosy neighbors, and a rundown corner café that smells like possibility.
And maybe fate.
Then the threats start. Anonymous notes. Strange packages. A reminder that her past isn’t finished chasing her.
Her life takes a sharper turn the night she meets Terrence ‘Tank’ Maddox—the ex-military bodyguard with tattoos, biceps, and a growl that could stop traffic. Their one-night stand is supposed to be a mistake.
He makes sure it becomes a promise.
By his side are his pack brothers:
💞 Elias Brooks — a charming firefighter with a heart as soft as marshmallow foam and a laugh that makes even her darkest days brighter.
☕ Julian North — a grumpy, sharp-suited investor who swore he’d never get attached again… until her cinnamon-sugar scent ruins his peace and his business trip.
Together, they become her unexpected salvation—a pack who protects her when the threats grow violent and stands beside her when the branch of her café finally opens its doors.
Between steaming lattes, late-night security shifts, and kisses that taste like caramel and sin, Rosemarie has to decide whether to keep running…
or finally stay.
Because love this rich, messy, and real—
is worth every broken rule and every knot that binds them.
A valentine-sweet, coffee-scorched, heart-melting Omegaverse romance filled with cozy danger, slow-burn heat, found family, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
💘 TROPES & VIBES:
�� Runaway Omega – escaping a forced marriage and building a new life
