Summary
Coffee shop rule #1: Never get attached to customers. Coffee shop rule #2: If said customer is a mafia boss, definitely don’t fall in love with him. But Penelope’s never been good at following rules, and Anthony Bridgerton’s charm is stronger than a triple shot of espresso. Suddenly, her quiet life is brewed with danger, sweetened with romance, and served with a side of mafia intrigue. Meanwhile, Eloise, Anthony’s rebellious sister, has her own doubts about the family’s shadowy empire and her arranged marriage to Anthony’s right-hand man. Between sarcastic advice and stolen cigarettes, she and Penelope form a bond as they navigate love, loyalty, and the chaos of mafia life.
Coffee Shop AU x Mafia AU no one needed.
