Italian Roast and Wedding Ghosts

A seaside Italian resort. A high-society wedding. A fae gathering hiding in plain sight.

What could possibly go wrong?

My mundane father is getting married—to a very mundane, very proper high-society woman—at a gorgeous Italian resort where the espresso is strong, the views are breathtaking, and the guest list is a nightmare waiting to happen.

Because at the exact same time, the Fae are holding a major gathering at the resort.

Elain and I are tasked with the impossible: keep the magical world hidden from my family, keep Fae politics from exploding into chaos, and make sure no one notices when ghosts start showing up between wedding rehearsals.

And they do.

The ghost of a glamorous Hollywood starlet—dead for decades—haunts the resort, tied to a priceless broach that vanished the night she died. She doesn't know who killed her. She only knows her death wasn't an accident. Her widower, now part of the Fae gathering, is desperate for answers… and I'm the only one who can see her.

As if that weren't enough, another ghost lurks on the island—one who doesn't want to be found. When I finally uncover his dark secret, it becomes clear that the past here is far more dangerous than anyone realizes.

Meanwhile, a misogynistic Italian barista named Lino decides I'm the real problem.

He's furious! Not only that I come from a royal fae family. He's even angrier that I trained under an American café owner who managed to beat him—repeatedly—at international barista competitions. His wounded ego demands satisfaction, and he challenges me to a very public barista showdown… in front of my family and the crowd of powerful Fae.

No pressure. Just my reputation, my father's wedding, and the fragile veil hiding the magical world on the line.

Between murderous secrets, volatile Fae politics, and a coffee duel that could expose everything, I'm running out of time to uncover the truth behind a decades-old death—before the past claims another victim.
