The Billion-Dollar Barista: Book 1.

By: Hartwich, B. B.

From the rain-slick counter of a campus coffee shop to the glass thrones of three continents, one orphan just inherited a quarter-trillion-dollar empire... and a single, impossible clause: marry within one year, or lose it all.

Ethan Harlow has never owned more than a thrift-store suit and a dog-eared accounting textbook. Overnight he becomes the world's most eligible bachelor, commanding 287 companies, private jets, and a waterfront palace where the sunrise is served with Wagyu and revenge. But power tastes like espresso left too long on the burner... bitter, scalding, and impossible to put down.

Two women refuse to let him drink it alone.

Sofia Vasquez... his childhood lifeline, now his razor-sharp assistant... remembers when a shared sandwich was luxury. Emma Karill... brilliant, lethal, and unapologetically hungry... teaches him that desire is the ultimate leverage. Together they storm Manhattan boardrooms, cuff embezzlers in front of stunned executives, and turn Miami's sun-drenched ports into profit machines.

Yet every victory tightens the clock. Rival heirs circle. Tabloids crown him "The Billion-Dollar Barista." And fifteen new CFOs... handpicked dreamers gifted their own companies... begin to wonder who really holds the keys.

Love in triplicate. Power without limits. One year to choose a ring, a family, and a future... or watch the empire burn.

The coffee's gone cold. The crown is his. The game is just heating up.
