After two exhilarating years in Paris as an au pair, I’m back, ready to buy the coffee shop I’ve dreamed of owning since I was 16. Fresh coffee fills my senses, and my heart races as I realize that Axel Pembroke, my best friend’s brother and the man I’ve secretly crushed on for years, is suddenly noticing me, Teagan Sinclair. Just as I dare to hope for something more between us, a dark shadow descends—someone is leaving chilling notes and carrying out dangerous acts that threaten my very life. As Axel and I fight to uncover the truth behind this sinister threat, our connection deepens, brewing a love I never thought possible. But with every new challenge, the stakes rise. Testing us at every turn, will our love be strong enough to withstand this ominous storm, or will a hidden foe shatter our dreams of a happily ever after?
