Then Lizbeth literally crashes into my world with her ideas of storybook romance and love. Her silky red hair drives me to distraction.What the hell is a meet-cute anyway?Romance does not save the world. I've been there. Failed at that. My parents divorce has convinced me that not even love can survive real life. Perpetual bachelorhood looks pretty safe to me.Except Lizbeth is determined to help me see the light of love. I'm not about to let her win our little challenge, because I know the truth.Forget her books. I'll show her that romance is a construct, and love hurts.LOVESICK is the second novel in the Coffee Shop series.
