The Barista's Blessing: A Christmas Miracle in a Coffee Cup
One struggling coffee shop. One grieving doctor. One Bible verse that changes everything.
Ethan Cross is running out of hope-and time. His beloved grandmother's coffee shop is weeks from foreclosure, customers are vanishing to the competitor across the street, and his prayers feel like they're hitting the ceiling. In a last act of faith, he begins his grandmother's old tradition: writing Scripture on every cup throughout December. He doesn't expect it to save his business. He certainly doesn't expect it to save a life.
Dr. Lily Hartwell moved to Pine Ridge, Montana to outrun her grief. After a devastating loss shattered her world, she buried herself in her work as a trauma surgeon and built walls no one could breach. She doesn't believe in fate, faith, or second chances-and she definitely doesn't believe in small-town charm or handsome baristas with kind eyes and unwavering conviction.
But something about Ethan's quiet strength draws her back to Common Grounds day after day. Their conversations become the bright spot in her dark world, and the verses on her coffee cups begin to feel less like coincidence and more like... something else. As Christmas approaches, their friendship deepens into a connection that terrifies her-because Lily is hiding a devastating secret, and she's already decided that Christmas Eve will be her last.
When Ethan writes one specific verse on her cup that morning-a verse tied to her deepest pain and her father's final words-Lily faces an impossible choice. Will she surrender to the darkness she's been planning, or will she trust that God has been reaching for her all along through the faithfulness of a man who never stopped believing in miracles?
A heartwarming Christian romance about divine timing, the healing power of faith, and the extraordinary ways God uses ordinary moments to orchestrate the impossible. Perfect for fans of inspirational fiction who believe in the power of prayer, the promise of new beginnings, and love that's worth fighting for.
