Five years ago, the cold-blooded murder of a respected hospital director shook the city. No one ever found the killer-no one ever knew why. Now, Maddie Alcatraz hides behind the quiet hum of a coffee machine and the peaceful lie of a new name. Her life is simple, silent... and steeped in secrets. Enter Aveena "Avi" Jimenez-a bright, compassionate doctor working night shifts who stumbles upon Maddie's tucked-away café. One cup of coffee turns into two. Then three. Then late-night conversations and lingering glances. But what happens when Avi learns that the woman she's falling for might be the one who shattered her family? In a world where the past never stays buried, can love still bloom-or will it all come down to a bitter aftertaste?
