Bartender Stories

Caleb Santos, an ex-military bartender on a small planet named Orion-58, is serving drinks one night when he stumbles across two particularly shady individuals. What happens next forces him to revisit his past life in a suspenseful, page-turning sci-fi adventure. This novel is still being written, and I'll try and keep you guys posted for updates :)

Thorn does not believe in being saved. She believes in exits. In locked doors. In silence. In keeping her head down, her hands busy, and her past buried so deep no one thinks to look for it. After a month of failed job interviews, Thorn walks into the Rosewood Lounge for one reason only: tea. She does not expect the crooked job sign in the window. She does not expect Noah Thornwood, all chaos, charm and impossible warmth. She does not expect Elias Thornwood, all control, sharp edges and quiet protection. And she definitely does not expect a non-alcoholic café-bar full of people who somehow notice too much, ask too many questions, and make far too much room for a woman who has spent her whole life trying not to need anyone. Thorn is brilliant, guarded, exhausted and terrifyingly calm. She is a bartender who does not drink, an artist who hides her work, a woman with chronic pain, old grief, and a history no one at Rosewood could ever imagine. But Rosewood has its own way of loving people. Through tea. Through food. Through ridiculous theories. Through late-night shifts, handmade blankets, found family, and the kind of loyalty Thorn has never trusted enough to want. The longer she stays, the harder it becomes to pretend she is only an employee. Because Noah sees the loneliness she hides behind sarcasm. Elias sees the pain she refuses to name. Zara knows the girl beneath the armour. And slowly, painfully, Thorn starts to learn that family is not always blood. Sometimes family is the people who save you a seat. Sometimes it is the people who stay. And sometimes, after years of surviving alone, there is finally room for one more.

Steve Rogers never expected The Midnight Blue Modal - the old‑school Brooklyn bar he runs with James Barnes - to become the place where his life quietly shifts. With dim lights, worn leather booths, and jazz drifting through the room each night, it's a refuge for anyone who needs a moment to breathe. That's exactly what Natasha Romanoff seems to be doing. She walks in every day, always choosing the same booth, always ordering the same drink, always carrying a quiet weight she never explains. Her job isn't dangerous, but it's complicated, and Steve can see it in the way she softens only when she's here. What starts as small talk turns into something gentler - a warmth he feels in her lingering smiles, in the way she listens, in the way she lets her guard down only in this room, only with him. He doesn't know what she does. She doesn't tell him. But the more she shows up, the more he realizes the truth he never meant to face: The most dangerous thing he's ever done has nothing to do with the bar or the past he's trying to outrun. It's giving his heart to her - and hoping she'll want to keep it.
