“Taj McCoy’s writing positively crackles with energy, wit and humor.” –Jayci Lee, author of Booked on a Feeling In this spicy new rom-com, an ambitious entrepreneur working to get her speakeasy supper club off the ground is pushed off balance when her childhood crush turns up, hotter than ever–then tells her she’s off-limits. Now that Kendra’s returned home, she can’t help feeling like a kid again–back in her big brother’s shadow, trying to get her restaurant off the ground while his new venture is flying high right out the gate. It doesn’t help that everyone refuses to stop calling her Keke, the childhood nickname she loathes. The only bright spot is her longtime crush BJ. He’s been her big brother’s best friend for most of her life, and he’s always been that cool, chill guy who was easy to talk to and made her laugh. Now he’s looking at her like she’s all grown up, and there’s nothing childish about the chemistry brewing between them. Even better, he takes her dreams seriously, and he’s ready to help her make her supper club a reality. But then BJ extinguishes the sparks flying between them, insisting nothing romantic can ever happen because she’s “off limits.” As her investors fall through and her best chance at fulfilling her professional dreams points toward leaving home again for a fresh start, will BJ be ready for love before Kendra moves on? Or will he sweep her off her feet when she least expects it?

Why we love this
Kendra is home, trying to open her speakeasy supper club in her brother's shadow, and BJ, the brother's best friend and the longtime crush, has finally noticed she grew up. Then he calls her off-limits. McCoy takes ambition and appetite equally seriously, so the restaurant plot lands as hard as the romance.
