3AM Love and Lattes

He was never supposed to mean anything. But now he might mean everything.

Jenny's world is held together by caffeine, college, and the coffee shop her parents built from the ground up-a place now threatened by rising rents and disappearing neighborhoods. She works late to help keep the doors open, focused on her future and sworn off distractions.

Until one night, at midnight, Xavier stumbles in-drunk, uninvited, and unexpectedly charming.

She almost kicks him out. Instead, she gives him coffee.

They end up talking until 3 a.m.

Xavier's a star swimmer with a complicated past, a powerful family, and a future he's not sure he even wants. Jenny's barely keeping her world from falling apart. They aren't supposed to be anything. But the more they see each other-at school, at the shop, at the volunteer program for local kids-the more "nothing" starts to look like something.

As secrets unravel and gentrification threatens everything Jenny holds close, their connection will force them to decide: do they protect what they've built separately-or risk everything to build something together?

A slow-burn college romance about trust, timing, and falling in love when everything around you is falling apart.
