Macchiato & Machio

She's a barista with a broken past. He's a Mafia heir with a frozen heart.

Serena's life is simple: work the morning shift at Starbucks, keep her head down, and survive the chaos waiting at home. But everything changes when he walks in. Atlas, a man as cold as the coffee he orders at exactly 9:30 every day, seems untouchable-until the night he saves her life.

What starts as a second chance meeting becomes a dangerous entanglement, as Serena finds herself drawn into Atlas's dark world of crime, power, and secrets. He's ruthless, unfeeling...yet somehow, she can't ignore the way he looks at her.

In a world where trust is dangerous and love is a weakness, can Serena and Atlas find solace in each other-or will their worlds collide with devastating consequences?

Perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers, slow burns, and stories that blend danger with romance.
