Series background & context

Mixology is a new adult contemporary romance series set around the Outer Banks, bartending shifts, uncertain post-college plans, and the complicated appeal of people who look good across a shared apartment.

In Shaken Not Stirred, Maddy moves after medical-school rejections leave her unsure what comes next. Her family sees a mess, while Maddy finds herself bartending and living near two men, including a childhood friend. She also has to choose between the apparently sensible Colin and Lyle, a musician who draws her in through music and late-night drink experiments.

Love is not always served neatly.

On the Rocks continues the setting and follows a heroine who moves to the Outer Banks with few clear options. Learning to bartend and living with two men becomes more than a temporary solution. These books are character-focused, warm, and lightly funny, with romance rooted in work, friendship, and starting over. Begin with Shaken Not Stirred for the first introduction to the group.
