The Starlight Diner

Even immortals need coffee at three in the morning.

Julian has lived for centuries, outlasting covens, wars, and the relentless march of time. Now, he manages the Starlight Diner-a neon-lit, 24-hour sanctuary on Halcyon Avenue where the city's supernatural underbelly comes to drink terrible coffee in peace. Julian likes his quiet, highly regimented life, keeping his head down and his 18th-century silver spoon hidden beneath the register.

Then there's Caleb Reyes. Built like a bouncer but working as a meticulous CPA (Certified Professional Accountant), Caleb is a werewolf who spends his days doing tax depreciation schedules for warlocks and trying very hard not to draw the attention of his demanding, hyper-aggressive pack. He's also a regular at the diner.

When a dangerous warlock initiates a plot to breach an ancient, highly protected magical vault, the diner's strict neutrality is shattered. Thrown together by circumstance, Julian and Caleb are forced into a reluctant partnership. Between navigating felony-adjacent heists, fending off magical enforcers, and trying to survive the chaotic fallout of the full moon, the two men must rely on each other to keep their city-and their sanctuary-from tearing itself apart.

But as the danger escalates, the quiet, unspoken tension between them begins to boil over. Julian has spent lifetimes learning how to avoid having something to lose. Caleb is about to prove that some things are worth the risk.
