Thorns and Ashes (Cozy Pines #1) by Alyssa-Ray Bouman:
 
At Cozy Pines Cafe, Love isn’t Rushed, it’s Slow-Brewed.
 
A story about Healing After Loss and Finding Love in the Last Place you Ever Expected it.
 
Tris Thorne isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. She’s spent her whole life living in luxury, looking down at the people in her small town. But when it all comes crashing down around her, she’s left with nothing, and that sense of entitlement crumbles like a pastry. She finds herself working at The Cozy Pines Cafe, relearning what it means to be a good friend, and questioning who she wants to be as a person.
 
If only the new Captain of the Turtle Bay Fire Department didn’t challenge her, piss her off, and light a fire under her skin, unlike anything she’s ever felt before. Captain Levi King of the Turtle Bay Fire Department is seeking solace in the Adirondacks after a tragic accident robs him of the future he thought he had planned out. Now he’s haunted by his grief and scars that are carved deeper than just his skin. Devastatingly handsome, his razor-sharp wit and grumpy, sarcastic edge keeps everyone at a careful distance. Everyone except for the icy barista, Tris, who manages to light him up with every interaction. It doesn’t help that little Miss Ellie, his firehouse dog, is absolutely obsessed with her and her biscuits.
 
A true enemies-to-lovers’ romance that you won’t want to put down. Will Levi King and Tris Thorne set aside their pride long enough to see that they’re exactly what the other one needs? Or will they continue to push away their connection… and each other.
