He now finds himself taken under the wings of his overbearing grandfather, Remington Hastings the First, who is making it his mission to turn his heir apparent into the successor of the Hasting empire. Remi's first assignment? Open a coffee shop. The only problem is that Remington Hastings the Third doesn't know the first thing about coffee, much less building an empire out of slinging burnt beans. With little or no prospects other than announcing at winter sports events or coaching, Remi rolls up his sleeves and attacks the assignment with vigor. All while healing his ego and enduring another surgery to repair his leg. With the grand opening of Brewed Awakenings rapidly approaching, Remi meets up with more challenging situations and setbacks. Still, the worst is finding out that he might have a saboteur working against him. To make matters stickier, he foolishly agrees to host the Gingerbread House Competition for the publicity it would bring. But will he get himself into much more than he bargained for? As the mystery of the secret briefcase is still taunting him, and his entire future hinging on the success of the coffee shop, Remi stumbles through, but will he persevere? This is the second book in the six-part clean and lighthearted romantic series with a sprinkling of mystery.
