Getting rejected from your dream college hurts. Getting dumped by your boyfriend because he “doesn’t want to be tied down” hurts even more. While Thomas heads off to university, parties, and the freedom he always wanted, you stay behind—attending community college and working at a café just to keep yourself busy. Then Cashton “Cash” Doyle walks in. The new hire is quiet, tattooed, hopeless with the espresso machine, and somehow always manages to make the hardest days feel a little lighter. Between late-night shifts, study sessions, and his local band gigs, you slowly begin putting your heart back together. Winter break changes everything. Thomas comes home expecting to find the girl he left behind. Instead, he finds you smiling at someone else. Funny how he only wanted you back after someone else started choosing you.
