Lattes & Luck (Chicago Sapphics Book Two): A Sapphic St. Patrick's Day Cafe Romance

Quinn Hayes owns Quinn's Cafe in Chicagoland and works the counter herself as a full-time barista. She knows coffee inside and out, and her espresso drinks are flawless. She even trims prices now and then to save her customers a little money. Even so, the cafe, which also runs as a small restaurant, has not caught on with the neighborhood.

She calls a friend for help. The friend sends in Sophie Richter, a well-known Chicago food blogger, who ends up working in the cafe's kitchen. Sophie got the spot on a stroke of luck, and word is that she may struggle to keep up once the heat is on.

This is a sapphic cafe romance set around St. Patrick's Day, so a love story between Quinn and Sophie sits at the center of the setup. It is the second book in the Chicago Sapphics series. The title promises a pairing of lattes and luck, and the tone leans light and playful, with the busy week in Chicago as the backdrop.

Heat level and the way the romance unfolds are not stated. What is clear is the workplace setting, the two women thrown together behind the counter and the holiday week that frames it.
