Enemies-to-lovers • slow burn • coffee shop romance with secrets that brew beneath the surface
Juniper "Juno" Kline runs Juniper & Co., a cozy little coffee shop tucked into a buzzing Manhattan corner. She's sharp-tongued, fiercely independent, and a master at crafting the perfect drink-especially for her most annoying customer: Alec Stein. Every morning at 6:30 a.m. sharp, Alec strolls in with a smug smile and a vague "my usual." He's arrogant, mysterious, and somehow still charming-even when he's driving her absolutely insane.
But Juno has a secret: Alec never actually gets the same drink twice. She's been testing him, watching him, daring him to notice. And one day... he does.
Then Alec leaves behind something unexpected: a black leather notebook filled with scribbles, sketches, and observations-about her. Suddenly, their banter isn't just banter. The line between hate and something softer begins to blur. And Juno finds herself wondering if there's more to Alec than sarcasm and tailored suits.
But the closer she gets, the more she realizes Alec isn't just a regular customer. He's connected to a past she thought she left behind-and the notebook may hold more than just flirty observations. It might hold the truth.
