San Francisco.

The Curio Cafe. An inconspicuous cafe tucked behind the corner of a quiet road filled with hidden stories. One of them involves a shy girl, a mysterious boy, and coffee.

It's Christmas Eve. Cherie Grant is new to the city, working as a barista there. Every day she watches the arrival of a certain someone with piercing green eyes. But her eyes always avoid his gaze as she hands him his regular coffee: black, no cream, no sugar.

She wants nothing more for Christmas than to have this mysterious green-eyed man talk to her.

But love at first sight is only a fantasy. It is a bumpy road, filled with unexpected twists and turns, betrayal, and possibly even heartbreak.

She is a devoted waitress, and he is the "grumpy Scrooge" owner. Sheldon has a splendid life with the comforts of family and friends who love him dearly and a wonderful café he could call his very own, but Alexa could not understand why he is so shallow and self-centred to appreciate what he has and stop taking it all for granted. Alexa, on the other hand, life was vastly different from that of her boss; her family cares for nothing but themselves and is not averse to sacrificing her well-being to attain it. Deep down, she would give her all to have what he treated so callously as her own to love and cherish in all its entirety, but she knows that wishful thinking is a waste of time nor chances given without a price. Here she was in the little mystical town of Mistle, where Angels are both celestial and human; with Christmas vastly approaching, Alexa finds herself hoping more than ever for a miracle of chance. Let's see if a Shady stranger could be the one to give her the chance she sought and if she could pay the price. •This is entirely a work of fiction created by me, Birdeyze, the writer, for readers' entertainment. •Cover design created by DESYNER. • The picture was taken from Pinterest.

Eloise Rae Salazar thought she had escaped the shadow of her family's name. As the daughter of a powerful mafia leader, she chose a different path-running Sip & Read Nook, a cozy café with a secret library upstairs. It was her safe haven, a world of books and coffee far removed from the violence she was born into. But safety is an illusion. Elijah Taruma has always been by her side-first as a childhood friend, then as the quiet, watchful neighbor, and now as her appointed protector. Their families have always been close, and when tensions rise between rival mafias, the solution is clear: an arranged marriage between Eloise and Elijah to secure an alliance and keep her safe. Bound by duty, Eloise and Elijah enter a marriage neither of them asked for. But while Eloise resents the cage closing around her, Elijah remains unwavering in his role as her protector. He has secrets of his own, a past drenched in blood, and a heart that has always belonged to her-whether she realizes it or not. As danger creeps closer, enemies emerge from the shadows, threatening the fragile truce between their families. When betrayal strikes in the most unexpected place, Eloise is forced to confront the truth: in this world, love is a risk, trust is a weakness, and the only way to survive is to embrace the darkness she's spent her whole life running from. But when the time comes to choose-will she stand beside Elijah, or will she walk away from the life she never wanted?
