Ink & Espresso
Sixteen-year-old Elena Moretti has always preferred quiet corners, soft voices, and the comfort of familiarity. Crowds make her nervous, strangers even more so. When her father asks his lifelong best friend to give her a small job after school, Elena agrees—mostly because that man has been part of her life since the day she was born. Marco DeLuca, thirty-four, is many things: a feared Mafia boss, a calculated leader, a man whispered about in dark rooms. But to Elena, he’s simply Uncle Marco—the man who taught her how to tie her shoes, who attended every birthday, who made sure no one ever raised their voice around her. On her first day working as his personal coffee girl at his private office, Elena expects nerves and mistakes. What she doesn’t expect… is to realize she already belongs there.
