Burgers and Brew Crue Series by Lacey Black

Walker. There’s nothing better than a packed house on a Saturday night, and co-owning the hottest restaurant and bar in town with my best friends, isn’t so bad either. We put everything into Burgers and Brew. My job is to keep the alcohol moving and the patrons coming back for more. I won’t let anyone break my focus. That was until I saw her. As much as I try, I can’t fight it. Mallory makes me crave a future I never wanted for my own. Now, I want it all. Mallory... moreWalker.

As much as I try, I can’t fight it. Mallory makes me crave a future I never wanted for my own. Now, I want it all. Mallory. When I started my new job at a local specialty burger restaurant, I wasn’t expecting to find a tall, dark, and devastatingly handsome distraction in the form of Walker Meyer. He’s one of the owners, which means hands off. Only problem, it’s a lot easier said than done. Especially when he’s so good with my daughter. I try to keep him at a distance, but he’s insistent, slowly breaking down every one of my walls. He’s fighting to convince me I can trust him with not only my heart, but my daughter’s too. I pray he’s right. less

Jasper. The kitchen: it’s my domain, where I create the best burgers in the Midwest. I’m the man behind the grill at Burgers and Brew, the restaurant and bar I co-own with my best friends. Every night, we’re packed, the demand has never been this high. It’s the only way I want it, thriving and pushing myself to be the very best. Then she started her new business across the street from mine. The one woman who always got under my skin, who pushed me to be better... moreJasper.

Then she started her new business across the street from mine. The one woman who always got under my skin, who pushed me to be better. Lyndee was my biggest rival in school and my biggest regret. Now, she’s in town, and as much as I try, I just can’t stay away. I want her. Lyndee. A new start: that’s what Stewart Grove means for me and my brother. He’s the one who pushed me to take the chance on opening my own bakery. I am ready for the long hours, the grueling schedule, and the hard work it will take to be successful. I wasn’t at all prepared to come face-to-face with the man across the street. An almost kiss in college with the world’s most infuriating man has haunted me for the last decade. Now Jasper’s here, and I don’t think I can resist him. Things are about to heat up in and out of the kitchen. I just pray I don’t get burned. less

Isaac. I’m about as straight-laced and by the book as they come. They call me Numbers, the man in the office of Burgers and Brew, the restaurant and bar I co-own with my friends. Routine and spreadsheets, that’s how I spend my day. I’m a creature of habit, from the designer clothes to the same girlfriend, I crave the pattern I’ve become dependent on. Until said girlfriend breaks up with me for the umpteenth time, and I find refuge in a woman who is my exact opposite... moreIsaac. I’m about as straight-laced and by the book as they come. They call me Numbers, the man in the office of Burgers and Brew, the restaurant and bar I co-own with my friends. Routine and spreadsheets, that’s how I spend my day. I’m a creature of habit, from the designer clothes to the same girlfriend, I crave the pattern I’ve become dependent on. Until said girlfriend breaks up with me for the umpteenth time, and I find refuge in a woman who is my exact opposite. I’m intrigued and completely out of my element, yet that doesn’t stop me from spending time with her. Even if I consider her off-limits, something about her calls to me. The problem is I just might lose a friend because of it. BJ. Most of the time, I would never look twice at Isaac Thompson. He’s all suits, ties, and expensive dress shoes, and I’m…well, not. My time is spent at the tattoo studio I work at, day and night, designing badass ink for clients who want the best. I have no room in my life for a relationship, nor do I care for the messes they always create. Until Isaac finds me stranded on the road, and I end up inviting him inside. Now, I can’t stop thinking about him. He’s so different from any man I’ve ever known, which is why we decide to keep it casual and fun. Let’s just hope I can keep feelings out of the arrangement, so I don’t get burned. less
