The Last Coffee

When everything you've built falls apart, can love be enough to start again? Maya Chen has spent seven years pouring her heart into Café Lumière, creating a sanctuary where New York's weary souls find warmth, connection, and the perfect cup of coffee. But when an eviction notice arrives, she's forced to confront the truth: she's been hiding behind her espresso machine, too afraid to chase the dreams she abandoned long ago. On the café's final days, a stranger walks through the door. Daniel Chen is an artist at a crossroads, seeking a place to show his work—and finding something far more precious. As Maya prepares to say goodbye to the only life she's known, Daniel sees in her what she's forgotten about herself: courage, beauty, and untapped potential. Their connection is immediate and undeniable. But love that blooms in endings must prove itself in beginnings. From the intimate corners of a beloved café to the sun-drenched museums of Florence, from the exhilarating launch of a new venture to the quiet moments that define a life, Maya and Daniel must navigate success, ambition, and the terrifying vulnerability of choosing each other—again and again. Inspired by the wisdom of a beloved regular customer who taught her to "live big," Maya discovers that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is let go of what's safe and reach for what sets your soul on fire. The Last Coffee is a deeply romantic, beautifully written story about second chances, the courage to transform, and finding love when you finally find yourself. Perfect for readers who believe that the best romances aren't just about falling in love—they're about becoming the person brave enough to stay. A contemporary romance for anyone who has ever stood at a crossroads and wondered if they had the courage to leap.
