Ivana Meredith Cox, a lively girl and an extremely talented barista who runs a small, beautiful cafe in Phoenix, trying to move on from her father's death. All she wants is to lay low, go to college and lead a quiet, peaceful life without people bringing up her painful past. The last thing she wants in her life is more trouble but that's exactly what she gets.
Trouble that is,
Ace Newman, a mysterious, platinum-haired boy who's always surrounded with rumours and seems to be troubled by a haunting past. He's been termed as the infamous delinquent of the city, his reputation tainted regardless of where he goes. There's little that people know about him and so much more that they don't.
Ivana knows that Ace isn't half as bad as people make him out to be. What she doesn't know, though, is that he wants his true past to be revealed just as much as she doesn't want hers to be.
Perhaps, an unreasonable addiction to caffeine mixed with an unexpected dose of adventure and sarcasm is exactly what the two need for the sparks to fly.

Scowling, I took the money and gave him the receipt. "No swearing in here, please."
"Your words always present an irony to your expressions." He mused. "I like that."
"Look uh...Mister, no need to act all friendly. I've got better stuff to do than to waste my time interacting with you."
"The name's Ace." He drawled and I scowled yet again.
"What makes you think I'd be interested?"
"They always are." He smirked, shrugging and grabbing his coffee turned to leave.
