Opening her own coffee shop has been Lexi Owen's lifelong dream, and after years of hard work, she finally made it a reality. But in just a few hours, a break-in shatters everything she's built over the years.
At first, it seems like a typical robbery until Easton Callahan, her childhood best friend and the ex-love of her life, enters her world again. He suspects there's more to the robbery than meets the eye, especially after discovering the strange, cryptic letters Lexi has been receiving.
Reluctantly, they work together to repair the damage to the coffee shop, which ultimately prompts them to team up and uncover the truth behind these strange events.
As they delve deeper, old sparks reignite. It feels like they're back to where they left off. But after the heartbreak of their past, Lexi's hesitant to risk her heart again. If Easton wants a second chance, he's going to have to work for it.

Colton's Miracle ✔️ (Moved To Inkitt)
Officially a Wattpad Creator! This book is my lucky charm. Colton has grown up knowing nothing but anger, hatred, and pain. His past doesn't allow him to enjoy life like others do. Instead, he paints a glare on his face that scares most people away. And then suddenly, a petite little red head with freckles and a radiant smile shoves her way into his life, changing every concept he thought he knew and breaks every rule he thought he needed. With every encounter, the ice around Colton's heart melts until his heart is free to beat as loudly as it can, just for Lily. With a past even darker than Colton's, Lillian chooses her armor to be a smile. She has so many reasons to succumb to the darkness that fills her once innocent heart, but she focuses on enjoying the new life she just started. Being the new girl means she's free to pretend that she's just like everyone else, normal. And when she meets the rude and grumpy Colton, she can't help but notice how alike they actually are. Slowly, the two broken souls begin to help each other heal, and together, they start to learn what it's like to be loved, unaware that the ghosts of the past are still hovering in the shadows. **Topics mentioned in this story could be triggering, such as: Physical Abuse, and Sexual Harrassment. **There will be mature content (Explicit Scenes and Swearing). **All photos used are not mine and are found for public use. ** This is a work of fiction.

Americano For My Archnemesis
[Slow Brew Series 2 of 2] [Completed] Bea's dream was always to open a cozy, charming little book cafe. My dream-me, Jules, it's my story now, bitches-was to avoid unnecessary stress, talking about my own feelings, and James Hale. So naturally, the universe decided to shove all three onto my lap. Now I'm thrust into managing Beaumont's Books & Brews-aka Bea's pride and joy (aka the haunted mess of a coffee shop we're scrubbing, gutting, and dragging into existence from the afterlife). Which would be great... if she didn't have to share the title of "co-owner" with a walking migraine in designer loafers. James Hale. My archnemesis. My best friend's boyfriend's brother. Also, somehow, my boss. We made out once. It was a mistake. A moment of weakness. A tragedy for the history books. And now he's here. Every day. Breathing my air, drinking sugary, over-creamed monstrosities he dares to call coffee, and always-always smirking at me. I take my coffee black. No syrup. No foam art. No pulling out emotional baggage mid-espresso. The way coffee should be. Just pure, tasteful pleasure-with a bitter finish. Welcome to Beaumont's. May the odds be ever in my favor.
