In the elite world of Westchester, appearances are everything-and Madeline Block is the one setting the standard. As a sophomore at Octavian Country Day, sixteen-year-old Madeline has finally traded the backseat of Isaac's SUV for the driver's seat of her own car. While her younger sister, Massie, rules the seventh grade with an iron fist and the rest of the Pretty Committee at her heels, Madeline is navigating the higher stakes of tenth grade. The Block sisters have always shared a penchant for designer labels and a "State of the Union" attitude, but their carefully curated lives are about to hit a major speed bump. When their parents announce that old college friends are moving into the family guest house, Madeline and Massie expect more of the same social elite. Instead, they get the Lyons-and specifically, Claire. She's in the seventh grade, she's wearing overalls, and she's officially a permanent fixture in the Block estate. Between navigating high school drama and watching Massie's social empire face its biggest challenge yet, Madeline has to decide: will she help her sister maintain the status quo, or is it time for a new set of rules in the guest house?

In a bustling New York neighborhood-wedged between a cheerful florist and a noisy little arcade-Coffee Cabana is the kind of place people stumble into once and swear they've been coming forever. Its owner, Isabelle, is twenty-five, sharp-tongued in the sweetest way, and impossible to forget with her shimmering silver hair, sparkling green eyes, and smile that turns bad mornings into better ones. Business is steady. The coffee is perfect. The regulars are... strange. They arrive at odd hours. They wear bruises like secrets. They speak in half-truths and disappear mid-conversation as if the world is calling them elsewhere. Isabelle chalks it up to New York being New York-until a forgotten bag behind the counter and a few too-many "coincidences" make one thing clear: Her quaint little cafΓ© sits just around the corner from Avengers Tower, and some of the people she's been serving every day aren't just heroes on the news... they've been sitting in her booths. Now, with her shop suddenly swarmed by fans, watched by enemies, and caught in the orbit of people who attract danger like lightning, Isabelle has a choice-keep her head down and hope the storm passes... or stand her ground and protect the life she built with her own two hands. Because in a city full of legends, the one everyone underestimated might just be the barista next door.
