Loving him means risking the only family she has left.



Bangers Tavern's hunky bouncer Jojo Williams has been flirting with server Lana Lopez for three years, but she dismisses him as a trifling joker. Determined to penetrate her prickly defenses, he plunges into the hot mess that keeps her from dating. If he screws this up, his heart and hers won't be the only ones broken.



Orphaned by a car wreck at twenty-two, Lana must keep her teen brothers on track and together in the home they grew up in. One more slip-up, and her interfering tias will separate the boys. The last thing Lana needs is a big goof like Jojo meddling with her fragile family.



But when the teens' shenanigans land them in trouble, Jojo may be the only person who can save them from the wrath of the tias. Lana's growing attraction to the gentle giant makes it harder and harder to shut him out, but loving him is a gamble that could cost her everything.



Come back to Bangers Tavern for a slow burn, sizzling hot, friends to lovers workplace romance full of laughs, steam, and the glorious chaos of 21st century family-the ones we're born into, and the ones we gather to our hearts.
