Ink and Espresso

Chloe is a walking disaster. Between her chaotic art major, dye-stained fingers, and a messy bun held together by a single paintbrush, she survives on pure caffeine and panic. As a barista at The Daily Grind, the only indie cafe in her sleepy coastal town, she prides herself on never letting a customer rattle her.

Then Vesper walks in.

Vesper is the local tattoo artist from Ink & Iron. With a pastel-pink buzzcut, facial piercings, and an intimidating "don't mess with me" energy, she is the ultimate grumpy alt-girl. Chloe expects a standard order. Instead, she gets a cryptic request, a literal spark of static electricity that leaves them both shaken, and a sudden, intense curiosity that turns Chloe's face as bright as Vesper's hair.

Meanwhile, across town, Chloe's older brother Felix is facing his own radio-wave nightmare. A soft, anxious late-night DJ who hides in oversized sweaters, Felix has just been forced to co-host the morning drive-time show with Jasper. Jasper is loud, fiercely confident, drives a neon-orange Vespa, and lives to make Felix blush. Jammed into a tiny broadcast booth sharing one microphone, Felix is about to find out exactly how loud his heart can beat on live radio.

In a town this small, chaos is contagious-and love is about to take over the airwaves.
