Lovesick by Katie Cross | Coffee Shop Series Book 2

Lizbeth believes in romance.

Completely.

She has 957 paperback romance novels in her attic bedroom to prove it.

True love is real.

Romance is a force for good.

And love absolutely can save the day.

Then her world crashes down around her.

Enter JJ Bailey.

JJ does not believe in romance.

At all.

After watching his parents’ marriage fall apart, he has learned one very important lesson: love hurts, relationships fail, and perpetual bachelorhood is a perfectly reasonable life plan.

Then Lizbeth literally crashes into his world with her silky red hair, storybook expectations, and complete confidence that romance can survive real life.

JJ thinks she is ridiculous.

Lizbeth thinks he needs evidence.

So he gives her the ultimate challenge:

Prove romance is real.

Lizbeth accepts.

Obviously.

Armed with romance novels, spreadsheets, determination, and a refusal to let cynicism win, she sets out to show JJ exactly why love is worth believing in.

JJ intends to prove her wrong.

But somewhere between arguments about meet-cutes, romantic experiments, and far too much chemistry, their challenge starts feeling suspiciously like a love story of its own.

And suddenly, neither of them is quite as certain about the ending.
