Description: Piper Williams is used to being the only woman in a room full of men, but she isn't used to being attracted to one of those men. Determined to prove herself as a master brewer, she's working harder than ever to perfect her brews and ignore the chemistry she has with Blake Reed, owner of Minnesota's newest gastropub. Piper knows the tight-knit, testosterone-filled brewer community will assume the worst if she starts anything with her only vendor. No way she'd risk her budding business on a guy, no matter how charming, right? Blake has a conflict of his own - his haught family wants him to ditch the pub and support his father's political campaign. Well, that and the fact that Piper's snark and sass is his perfect blend of crisp and refreshing. So they make a pact: she'll go out with him if, and only if, two other pubs stock her beer. But sticking to the pact proves harder than expected... Then Piper gets a once-in-a-lifetime offer that could launch her company to the next level, but take her away from Blake. Are she and Blake just drunk in love, or do they have something worth changing the recipe for?
