Bruno Madrigal is a shy man. A few months outside of Casita's walls hasn't changed that. In an effort to slowly integrate back into the community of Encanto, he returns to one of his pre-hiding habits, reading at Café de Libros, a combination shop, café, and bibliotheca for the town run by Elena Pascual, an assertive 30 something with an adventurous streak, a deep love for books and her inherited businesses, and an unfiltered temper. The two strike up a long suspected romance thanks to the interference a butcher and a parrot, but soon Alma's dislike of Elena starts trouble for the lovers. Things only get worse when the cruelty of a jilted suitor brings violence to the community the likes of which haven't been seen for fifty years.
