My entry into the Coffee Community's Coffee & Crime Contest. 

Prompt: You walk into your usual coffee shop to grab a cup when someone nudges you on the shoulder. "Great you've arrived. Our main suspect." That's when you turn around and notice the yellow duct tapes all over the place. 

꧁••••꧂

Charisa McDowell has to have her morning coffee fix at her favorite cafe. Only on this particular day, she gets more than she bargained for. Her ex-boyfriend, who works there, has been murdered. Officer Liam Calhoun is assigned to the case and is determined to uncover the truth. When what happened in the past catches up to her and her husband, the truth might be too much to take. Will his investigation lead to answers or more questions for Charisa?

Read to find out!

꧁••••꧂

(In addition to this one shot, an epilogue will be out soon to wrap up Charisa's story).

Kalia knows that only one person has truly understood her. The problem is that she freaking hates the guy. She's not alone in that, because he hates her as well. The feud between Kalia and Lorenzo wasn't always a feud. They weren't always at each other's throats. They're the only two who know this, though. Is it hate? Or a mutual violent obsession? The specifics don't matter to them. They want each other dead. But working together for years, knowing intimately how the other functions, it doesn't get them anywhere. It's hard to kill someone who knows your every move. They work well together, despite any and all ill-feelings. The job comes first. They were trained well. One mission they get assigned changes everything for them. Not only are they assigned to work together, but suddenly, the one sure thing in their lives - the system they were trained to trust - turns on them. What happens when they're targeted by the government they work for? It leaves them with no one to turn to but each other. They'll have to trust each other to survive. They have to put their hate for each other aside and focus on the real enemy. It doesn't take them long after they've put aside their differences to figure out that the feeling in their chest they mistook as loathing was love. ------------------------------------------------------------------- cover by @JaelynnMoore started: 5/23/2021. restarted: 01/03/2024 published: completed:

|18+| "Enough is enough," she said to herself. "I'm going to ask him out." Getting up from her seat, she walked over to where he was seated. "Um, hi! I was wondering if we could grab some coffee and maybe hang out sometime?" she asked nervously. He turned to her, a sense of darkness and danger emanating from him. Her body went on alert. "You shouldn't be able to see me," he said with a smiling like a Cheshire cat. . . . "I scratch and bite" she warned "You'll crawl and beg too" he smirked. . . . The Ripple She hardly has time to breathe, much less dream, considering that she is juggling two difficult jobs. One face, nevertheless, sticks out in the midst of the chaos of her daily subway rides: a mysterious guy whom she covertly refers to as "the subway hottie." His mysterious presence becomes the high point of her daily routine-a secret joy. However, one day, with an unusual burst of courage, she dares to break the silence between them. What starts off as a brief connection quickly develops into something forbidden and thrilling. She has no idea that this seemingly random meeting will upend her meticulously planned life in ways she never could have predicted. The Echo He had to grow up too early after being born into an uncertain circumstance and found refuge and survival in the shadow of an underground empire. From a street-hardened recruit to a trusted enforcer in the family's inner circle, what started out as a desperate decision quickly turned into a way of life. However, trust is brittle and was destroyed the day he discovered a cruel betrayal that left him bloodied and drove him to flee. His only goal now is to exact revenge, and The Nemesis is his target. But his well-laid schemes fall apart when she gets in his way. His icy determination starts to soften for the first time, and he has to decide whether seeking vengeance is worth losing the one thing he never thought he deserved-her. 𝔘𝔫𝔡𝔢𝔯 𝔠𝔬𝔫𝔰𝔱𝔯𝔲𝔠𝔱𝔦𝔬
