What do you get when you mix one snarky literature major, a holiday-obsessed coffee shop, and a belief in Santa Claus that's just a little too real?
Welcome to The Steam Loft, where the peppermint foam is explosive, the string lights never come down, and wishes whispered to Santa have a habit of coming true - whether our narrator likes it or not.
Between college chaos, a meddling boss who signs her up for a city-wide barista contest, and a long-standing crush on the campus football star (who's inconveniently taken), she's just trying to survive the semester with her dignity and caffeine intact. But when her magical wish-making starts to spiral, she'll have to navigate friendship, heartbreak, and a whole lot of holiday mischief.
Told through diary entries addressed to Santa himself, this cozy rom-com sparkles with wit, warmth, and a dash of Christmas magic. Because sometimes, the best gifts aren't wrapped in ribbons - they're written in steam.
✨ Merry mischief, Santa.
