He had everything. Then he had nothing. Ethan Calloway graduated from Yale Law School with a perfect résumé and a future written in gold. Then his father's empire collapsed, his girlfriend walked away, and every door that once opened for the Calloway name slammed shut. Broke, blacklisted, and sleeping on a mattress on the floor, Ethan takes the only job he can find: bartending at a neighborhood dive called The Alibi. Its owner, Mara Santos, is sharp-tongued, fiercely independent, and unimpressed by everything Ethan used to be. But when the most powerful attorney in the city offers Ethan a lifeline, it comes with strings that could destroy the very neighborhood, and the woman, he's learning to love. Now Ethan must choose between the life he was raised for and the man he's becoming. Enemies to lovers. Slow burn. Morally gray choices. A hero who earns his redemption one broken glass at a time. Perfect for fans of Penelope Douglas, L.J. Shen, and Meghan Quinn.
