The Bartender and the Businessman by Riley James

Ellie ‘Red’ Thompson is used to being on her own. Especially after a massive scandal obliterated life as she knew it. Now she’s home in Devil’s Hood; a town Red swore she’d left behind. Between managing Granny’s bar, nosy townspeople, and a stranger offering to buy the business, Red’s too busy to notice that she’s lonely.
But sell her family’s secret barbecue formula to the sexy man in a suit? No thanks. She doesn’t need a six-foot, chiseled, arms-that-could-knead-bread-for-days, celebrity chef trying to change everything that makes Granny’s special.
Brandon Wolfe is on the hunt. Having made a name for himself flipping local delicacies into viral brands, he’s always looking for the next big thing. And that thing is Granny’s Barbecue Sauce. He’s determined to sign the deal and make it a global success, no matter who’s standing in his way. Even if that person is a sexy redhead with sharp green eyes and an even sharper tongue.
To appease her grandmother, Red agrees to hear Brandon out about his plans for Granny’s. But despite the tension and desire simmering between them, both are determined to keep it professional, and to be the one that wins—no matter what.
But when Ellie’s past comes calling, will Red will lose everything a second time? Or will she be saved by the Big Bad Wolfe?
