On a cold Edinburgh morning, she expected nothing more than a coffee, a quiet table, and the courage to start writing again. What she didn't expect was him. He's Dr. Alexander Fraser-brilliant, calm, devastatingly handsome in that quiet-university-professor way. She's a plus-size writer with a warm heart, a messy life, and a talent for turning simple mornings into public disasters. A spilled latte. A humiliating fall. A pair of strong hands that lift her back up. And a moment she absolutely wasn't prepared for. Neither of them knows what this is yet- a coincidence, a spark, or just a very embarrassing Tuesday. But at Nicholson Square, even small moments have a way of changing everything. A cosy, funny, slow-burn British romance about unexpected connections, shy glances, winter mornings, and a woman who's far more extraordinary than she realises.

Octavia Haiden works herself to exhaustion to avoid facing her past. Walter "Wally" Hart avoids his loneliness by chasing the kind of love that never lasts. They meet by accident. They stay by choice. But letting someone in means risking the things they're both terrified to lose. Two tired souls. One corner café. And a slow-burning connection neither of them expected to matter as much as it does.

It began softly - a fleeting moment, a quiet smile, a warmth neither of them expected. Mikaela never meant to fall for Rion, and Rion never thought love could still find him after everything he'd lost. Yet in the stillness between them, something fragile starts to bloom. But the past has a cruel way of finding its way back. And when buried truths surface, love will become the very thing that breaks them.
