The Soulmate Feud

Ivy Beaumont runs Steep Dreams Coffee Co., a cozy, pastel-perfect café built on precision, loyalty, and the firm belief that coffee is a serious business. Across the street, Rowan Calder owns Death Before Decaf, a sleek, bolder, relentlessly competitive coffee shop that seems designed specifically to ruin her aesthetic-and her patience.

For three years, Ivy and Rowan have been locked in a petty, relentless rivalry. Price wars. Customer pranks. Passive-aggressive chalkboard quotes. Each is determined to out-brew, out-brand, and outshine the other. They are enemies, competitors, and absolutely not the kind of people who belong in the same sentence-let alone the same romantic comedy.

Then they touch.

And everything changes.

The Department of Soulmate Affairs confirms what neither of them wants to hear: Ivy Beaumont and Rowan Calder are soulmates. Unfortunately, this means mandatory pamphlets, intrusive "bond compatibility seminars," and an overenthusiastic government agency that treats romantic destiny like a bureaucratic emergency.

Ivy is horrified. Rowan is offended. The fact that their soulmate bond seems to intensify their irritation-and their attraction-only makes things worse. Especially when every interaction now comes with emotional side effects, accidental chemistry, and inconvenient longing at the worst possible moments.

As the Department of Soulmate Affairs escalates its "helpful" interventions, Ivy and Rowan are forced into closer proximity than either of their business plans ever allowed. Rivalry turns into tension. Tension turns into confusion. And confusion turns into something dangerously close to desire.

But neither of them built their businesses-or their pride-on giving in easily. And falling for the enemy across the street might be the most chaotic, reputation-destroying, heart-disrupting decision they've ever made.

Perfect for readers who love enemies to lovers romance, rivals to lovers, coffee shop romance, small business romance, fated mates, soulmate comedy, romantic comedy series, forced proximity, witty banter, and laugh-out-loud paranormal romance with magical matchmaking chaos.

The Department of Soulmate Affairs series continues with another standalone romantic comedy in a universe where love is mandatory, paperwork is endless, and destiny has terrible timing.
