Broken ties
Updated at Feb 10, 2026, 21:36
At 23, Emma never expected to become her teenage brother's guardian. Three months after losing their parents, she juggles her barista job with raising Lucas, hiding her grief behind coffee orders and forced smiles. When charming James walks into her cafe, he seems like the perfect distraction - until his betrayal leads her to an unexpected connection with his uncle. A story about finding love in the midst of loss, and learning that sometimes the strongest family ties aren't the ones we're born with.
