A slow-burn lesbian romance about old wounds and new beginnings.
Mia Miller is charming, confident, and winning over everyone at her new job at the Pink Bean coffee shop. Except from the beautiful, standoffish yoga teacher who won’t give her the time of day. Mia has no idea why Lou flinches every time she smiles, and it’s driving her crazy.
Lou Hamilton loves her daily routine of an espresso and a good book between classes. Until she meets the cafe’s new manager and all her zen deserts her. Fifteen years ago, Mia was Lou’s high school bully, and now she doesn’t even seem to recognize her.
Lou has no intention of forgiving, nor of backing away from the community she’s built at the Pink Bean. Which means she and Mia keep getting pulled closer together—through mutual friends, and even through a bookshop that needs saving. And Lou starts experiencing something far more terrifying than a teenage bully: the slow, undeniable realization that the person who once hurt her most might be the one who understands her best.
