Double Shot
by Joanne Starr
By day, Ellie is the quiet, unassuming barista at a small neighborhood coffee shop, known for her warm smile and her talent for remembering every regular's order. She keeps her life simple, her head down, and her secrets carefully hidden.
By night, she lives a very different life. Under the stage lights, she becomes someone bolder, more confident, and impossible to ignore. It's a side of herself she never intended anyone from her daytime world to see.
Miles is one of her regular customers, drawn to Ellie's gentle presence and easy warmth long before he ever realizes there is more to her story. When he accidentally stumbles onto her hidden life, their quiet routine is suddenly charged with unspoken tension and dangerous curiosity.
The next morning, their eyes meet across the counter. He knows. She knows he knows. And nothing feels simple anymore.
Double Shot is a steamy contemporary romance about secret identities, crossing boundaries, and the irresistible pull between two people who were never supposed to collide.
