Overview

Marco has his life figured out—teaching kickboxing by day, quiet evenings at home by night. That is, until he discovers Grind Coffee and the sweet barista with the shy smile who makes the perfect cappuccino. Frankie is everything Marco didn't know he was looking for, but there's something haunting those gentle eyes. When Marco notices the unexplained bruises and the way Frankie flinches at unexpected sounds, he realizes the truth: Frankie is trapped in an abusive relationship with no way out. As their friendship deepens over morning coffee and quiet conversations, Marco finds himself falling for the tender-hearted man who deserves so much better than the fear he's living with. When Frankie's world shatters and he has nowhere left to run, Marco opens his home, offering safety without strings attached. In the sanctuary of Marco's patient care, Frankie begins to heal and discover what real love looks like.
