Solstice Café has always been Amelia Dawson's home away from home-a place filled with warmth, good coffee, and little handwritten notes that brighten her customers' days. With her bubbly personality and effortless charm, she's the kind of barista who turns first-time visitors into devoted regulars.
Leon Castille, CEO of Castille & Co., only stops by on a friend's recommendation. He's there for the quiet ambiance, the good espresso, and definitely not for the overly chatty barista who seems to make a game out of getting him to smile. But somehow, between the playful banter and the way she effortlessly connects with everyone around her, he keeps finding reasons to come back.
Just when Amelia and Leon start finding their rhythm, Solstice Café takes a turn for the worse. A sudden shift in management threatens everything that made the café special-higher prices, lower quality, and strict rules that strip away its heart. When their beloved manager Rachel is fired for pushing back, Amelia, Mira, and Marco refuse to let the café go down without a fight. And surprisingly, neither does Leon.
Because somewhere between coffee orders and teasing remarks, Solstice became more than just a café to him, too.
