Kate & Hudson by Annie Carlisle

She’s given up on ever having a love life.
He’s just given up on love.

Kate’s life is perfect just the way it is right now. She owns the best coffee and bagel shop in all of Hibiscus Harbor, has a ride-or-die best friend, her very own tiny house, and a grumpy pet goose, Wilbur. Love isn’t in the picture, and it doesn’t need to be, right?
Hudson has everything planned out. His job as a firefighter during the day and part owner of Hooplas Bar and Grille at night. Throw in a group of life -long friends, a happy-go-lucky English Mastiff, and his mom, what more does he need?

When Hudson is promoted and transfers to a new fire station, a chance meeting with the beautiful Bagel Lady makes him reconsider his options. But when he sees her in his bar drowning her sorrows in tequila, he does something about it.
