Striking Gold

Not all that glitters is gold...especially in love.
Mia Russo is well aware that being voted "most likely to succeed" in high school doesn't guarantee anything, especially after her political career crashes and burns. Without a plan for the first time in her life, Mia moves back home with her dad. After being rejected by the handsome local jewelry store owner who seems way too familiar, she takes a barista job while she determines her next steps.
Orphaned at a young age, Ross Manasse finally finds peace when he inherits his grandfather's jewelry store. It's been a tough road, and Ross is looking for quietness and stability. When his former high school tutor-someone Ross once thought of as a friend-barges into his shop looking for a job and doesn't recognize him, his safest option is keeping her at arm's length.
Mia's determined to make something in her life work, but in rekindling a relationship with the grumpy jeweler, she digs up more about their shared history than they expect. Mia and Ross will need to decide what's more important: finding success or true happiness?
