Cold Sweat

About this book

Jules is desperate for a stress-free fall break, but returning home brings her face-to-face with the one person—or thing—she dreads most: Red. A sentient, smirking pitcher of Cherry Chill-Assist, Red has been a persistent thorn in her side since their parents tied the knot two years ago. Between his constant, suggestive commentary and his knack for getting under her skin, he is the last thing Jules needs while navigating her own looming life decisions. Seeking refuge from the tension, Jules retreats to her mother’s new sauna, hoping for a quiet, restorative evening. Her peace is short-lived, however, when Red invites himself into the steamy, confined space. What begins as a battle of wits quickly shifts as the heat rises, pushing the pair into an intimate encounter that reveals Red has been keeping a massive, icy secret. This off-the-wall, parody romance leans into the "enemies to lovers" trope with a literal twist. It is a hilariously bold, steamy, and surprisingly sweet novella that asks the most important question of all: can a woman truly find love with a beverage container? For those looking for a quick, absurdly entertaining read, this story serves up a refreshing glass of cherry-flavored chaos.
