Sunrise Lattes & Sunset Drafts - A Small-town Coffee-shop Romcom of Fake Dating, Grumpy/sunshine Sparks, a Viral Ferris-wheel Kiss, and a Community Saving Their Café-and Finding Real Love.

When bestselling author Emily Carter retreats to postcard-pretty Lilac Cove to fix her career and her courage, the last thing she expects is Jake Bennett-sunflower-aproned barista, relentless optimist, and the heartbeat of the Sunbeam Café. A town-wide misunderstanding turns into a fake-dating pact, complete with napkin "rules," latte art lessons, and one very public ferris-wheel kiss that makes the internet swoon-and puts corporate eyes on their block.

As a chain moves to buy the building, Emily and Jake team up to save the café with pay-it-forward mugs, bake-off battles, and a sunrise parade that rallies the whole harbor. But when old fears and new headlines twist their story, they'll have to decide if the romance that started as pretend can stand up to real-life stakes.

Full of crackling banter, small-town shenanigans, and melt-your-heart moments (plus a morally questionable seagull), Sunrise Lattes & Sunset Drafts serves a feel-good blend of humor, hope, and a love worth fighting for. Perfect for readers who crave cozy settings, found family, and swoony, slow-burn chemistry with a guaranteed happy ending.
