If only life came with a guarantee. <\/b><\/p>\n

Patrick McNaughton wants more. More people drinking Foghorn\u2019s beer, more money to push their brewery past the competition, and more cooperation from his brothers, who have no sense of urgency. He\u2019s all about conquering one challenge on his way to the next, so long as there\u2019s a remote chance of winning. That\u2019s why Aspen Pane sits in the office down the hall, oblivious to his attraction. Patrick has always wanted more with her, but he never was one to risk it all.<\/p>\n

Aspen Pane has more than enough. As business manager for Foghorn, she keeps the brewery in the black and lives up to the nickname the McNaughton brothers gave her\u2014Wonder Woman. She\u2019s worked hard her whole life for the money she now has in the bank, the small house she calls home, and time with her friends. So, even though it seems everyone close to her, including her brother, is inconveniently falling in love, Aspen sticks with her to-do list. Because love risks everything and she doesn\u2019t do that for anyone.<\/p>\n

After an unexpected flight and an eccentric venture capitalist thrust them into a battle of wits and lies even they\u2019re not sure they can win, Patrick and Aspen must learn the difference between making a connection and making money. They may need to face their fears and risk it all in the name of finding a new work-love balance.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/b> Each Love Story<\/i> is a standalone. There are some shared characters throughout the books (siblings, friends, etc.) Closely related books are often distinguishable by the similar covers. The book order so far is as follows:
