The Café Where She Found Home

Eddie Dean has never worked a day in her life.

Sam Nowak is about to make sure she earns every pound.

At twenty-two, Eddie is a gifted violin student with an expensive London flat, a useless boyfriend, and a future financed by her father's hedge fund.

Then the money disappears.

Her cards stop working. Her tuition is threatened. Her rent is impossible. After a freezing walk across the city, Eddie accepts breakfast from a stranger and demands a job at Jimmy's Café in return.

The man who actually runs the place is Sam-exhausted, tattooed, brutally honest, and convinced that the spoiled rich girl will not survive her first breakfast shift.

Eddie refuses to quit.

Their arguments become banter. Banter becomes desire. Soon the café kitchen, Sam's upstairs flat, and every hour after closing are charged with an attraction neither of them can control.

But Eddie is still learning the difference between independence and pride. Sam is hiding vulnerabilities he refuses to explain. His closest friend Dylan knows the parts of him Eddie has never seen, while the possible sale of the café threatens the only place where her new life makes sense.

When assumptions, missed promises, and a medical crisis push their relationship to breaking point, Eddie must decide whether she is merely surviving without her father's money-or finally building a future that belongs to her.

Explicit, emotional, funny, and sharply British, The Café Where She Found Home is an opposites-attract new-adult romance featuring a wealthy violinist brought down to earth, a working-class café manager, workplace tension, class conflict, bisexual intimacy, an M M F encounter, found family, and a hard-won declaration of love.
