Mugs and Kisses

A mistaken identity, a public berating, and the world’s most awkward second chance—what else could possibly go wrong?

After months of hearing about Matt, my best friend’s coworker from hell, the name alone makes my blood pressure spike. So when I’m at our favorite coffee shop and a ridiculously attractive guy orders two drinks, one of them my bestie’s signature latte, and says the order’s for “Matt,” my brain short-circuits.



Cue one righteous tongue-lashing. I unload on him in front of everyone. It feels amazing—until I find out he isn’t that Matt.

I’m in line picking up coffee for a client when I notice him—blue eyes, killer smile, the kind of guy who makes you forget how to breathe. One minute I’m paying for caffeine; the next, I’m being roasted by the hottest man alive.

Weeks later, fate throws us together again—at a Valentine’s Day party, of all places. This time, he’s full of apologies and nervous charm. And honestly? He’s impossible to resist.



Maybe it’s reckless. Maybe it’s fate. But if chemistry this strong can survive a spectacular misunderstanding, it might just be the start of something real.

Mugs & Kisses is a low-angst, contemporary MM romance novella about an overzealous bestie, two guys named Matt, and hand-made pottery.
