Before the Meet Cute, First Kiss, and HEA there were two people learning that found family trumps family drama every time.

Lake is pissed. Her purse-string mother is forcing her to go to college far away from her dad, their mountain home, and the brewery they’re building together. She definitely doesn’t want to room with a Hollywood Heiress and a teen prodigy, but finding two best friends in her polar-opposite roommates is easing the sting. When the life she left behind starts unraveling, Lake will need her unlikely besties more than ever.

Life handed Walsh crappy parents and an even crappier future. Enlisting in the military is simply a ticket out of crap town. He never expected to find a group of men who would become his brothers and the family he didn’t realize he was missing. But when it all hits the fan, family could become a four-letter word.

Bottled Up is a prequel to the Naked Brews Series featuring Bottled Up Chemistry, Bottled Up Temptation and Bottled Up Disaster.

This book was previously published as Hard by KB Jacobs (a pseudonym used by Sarah Nego and Christi Snow).

A reformed conman and a sarcastic beauty both want the same mountain brewery.

He's holding lies and she's barely holding it together.

What could possibly go wrong?

Lake always had a plan. Finish college, move back to Colorado, and run Naked Brews with her dad. Her plan went down the drain when her dad died and left the brewery she called home to her absent maternal figure. Now Lake will have to convince her impossible-to-please mother to sell her the brewery, sweet talk the bank into a loan she can't afford, and turn her dad's small town dream into a thriving business.

Walsh thought the plan was simple. Pretend to be his millionaire best friend, buy a failing brewery, and honor their fallen military brother. But simple went down the drain the minute he met the sassy and beautiful brewery manager who clocked him as enemy #1. Now he's stuck between his growing attraction to the loud-mouth sarcasm factory and knowing he'll break her heart when he takes her brewery.

Bottled Up Chemistry is a small-town romance with found family and moderate spice.

Previously published as Deliciously Smooth by KB Jacobs (a pseudonym used by Sarah Nego and Christi Snow).

She needs a place to stay before she's forced to move back home.

He needs to convince his sponsors his bad boy days are over.

Can they convince everyone else they're in love without actually falling head over heels?

Melissa's life isn't exactly the raging success she thought it would be. She knew quitting her uncle's CPA firm to help her best friends run a brewery was a risky move, but a fire destroying her home and everything she owned was not part of the calculation. Her parents are begging her to come home, but she'd rather live in her car than give up on herself or her best girls.

Anthony's life of snowboarding and non-stop parties is starting to catch up with him. After sustaining an injury while saving the alluring Melissa from a fire, his season is over and his sponsors aren't willing to put up with his bad boy persona anymore. But Anthony has plenty of spare bedrooms in his mountainside mansion, and Melissa has the perfect innocent face to convince his sponsors he's a new man. Pretending to date her won't be hard. Not falling for her could be the real challenge.

Bottled Up Temptation is a small town romance where the relationship is fake but the spice is very real.

A Hollywood beauty and a scarred veteran both just want to live in peace…and alone.

She doesn’t trust herself to love anyone and he’s convinced his scars make him unlovable.

Living next door brought them together, but could their friendship lead to more?

Alexandra Nichols spent her childhood in the leftover spotlight of her Hollywood parents where relationships were as fake as the stories on the silver screen. She’s perfectly content with her family of best friends and the occasional fling to “scratch an itch.” When the new neighbor has her thinking about something real, her parents are there to remind her that loving a Nichols is the path to heartache.

For Damian, staying home is easier than explaining the IED explosion that left half his body a complete disaster. When his best friend calls in a favor he can’t refuse, he plans to get in, help with the brewpub opening, and get out. He didn’t expect to develop feelings for the enchanting Alex, but a girl that beautiful deserves more than his scars can offer.

Bottled Up Disaster is a friends-to-lovers small town romance where a beauty falls for the beast and everything gets a little spicy.

This book was previously published as Deliciously Bitter by KB Jacobs (a pseudonym used by Sarah Nego and Christi Snow).

Excerpt from Bottled Up Chemistry

“There you are.” Melissa ran up to me as I wrenched the door open. “I’ve been looking for you everywhere.”

“Well, I’ve been everywhere. The bar was a mess, Hops on Top is almost out, and Barb is late.”

Melissa fluttered her hands in front of her in the most Melissa-like movement possible. “I have something I need to talk to you about. It’s really important.”

“Can you talk and walk?” I hefted the kegs on to the dolly and tilted it onto the wheels to head back to the bar.

Melissa trotted after me, wringing her hands like she was trying to kill a chicken. “This is really important. Did I say that?” She stayed hot on my heels as I wheeled back through the brewery and toward the bar. “We should go to the office. Actually, maybe pour a beer first and then come to the office.”

My phone buzzed in my pocket. I eased the dolly down and pulled out my phone. Five minutes until the open sign flashed on unless I wanted a mob of local guys beating down my door.

“This had better be Barb.” I pulled up my text messages, and sure enough, Barb had sent a quick note saying she was running late. “No shit, Sherlock.”

I shoved the phone back into my pocket and angled the dolly back up again.

“Really, Lake. We need to talk.”

“Really, Melissa. This is not the time.” I pushed through into the beer cooler. “Barb is late, so now I’ve got to run the bar and the food until she gets here. I’ve got a keg about to blow, and I still haven’t hooked up the new on-tap offering. “

“I know, I know.” Melissa stood to the side while I offloaded the back-up kegs. “It’s just, this really can’t wait.”

“Is the bar on fire?” I sniffed, inhaling nothing but the scent of burnt french fries and hops. “Nope, didn’t think so.”

Outside, the first rumbling diesel engine pulled into the parking lot. There wasn’t enough time to take the dolly back, which meant I’d have Harlan bitching at me in an hour. I hauled ass back through the kitchen. The fryers were hot and ready, but I had no idea if any of the food I’d need today was prepped or even here. I mentally added kitchen inventory to my to-do list.

Melissa tailed me as I marched into the front of the pub. The lights needed to come on, and I’d just have to pray that Barb would be there soon.

“Lake, I just need a few minutes. This really can’t wait.”

I flipped the light switch that powered the neon tube sign in the window, alerting all of Aspenridge the best beer in Colorado was now available, served cold and fresh. “Dammit, Melissa. I love you, but can’t you see I’m trying and failing to do the job of three people right now? What is so frickin’ important that it just can’t wait one more second?”

Melissa squared her shoulders and looked me dead in the eye. “You don’t own the brewery.”
