📘 BLURB At just twenty years old, Criselda Robin was supposed to be saving lives in a white coat not pouring cappuccinos in a corporate café.But when a horrific car crash robs her of both parents in a single night, she drops out of medical school to raise her four younger siblings. Now, stuck between grief and survival, she takes the only job she can get serving luxury coffee at Cappuccio Prime, one of New York’s most elite beverage companies.What she doesn’t expect is Felix Santiago.The billionaire CEO is as intimidating as he is magnetic, raised in wealth, feared in business, and completely uninterested in distractions. Especially ones that smile too easily and ask too many questions. But when Criselda accidentally disrupts a high-stakes board meeting with news of Felix’s estranged mother, she catches his attention in the worst possible way.Or maybe… the best.Tension brews between them, sharp words, lingering glances, moments they don’t talk about. But Criselda has no room for romance, and Felix doesn’t believe in second chances.Still, the heart doesn’t ask for permission.And in a world full of broken pieces, maybe they’re exactly what the other needs.
