(Completed✨) Layla Sterling came to Oceancrest College carrying her family's name and the pressure to make their new Sterling Coffee shop succeed in a town who hates outsiders. At first, things seemed fine, especially after she met Mason Demore, the charming local with a grin and a thing for making her laugh. But everything changes when they discover their families run next door rival cafés. Mason is the golden boy of Anchor's Roast, the heart of the town, and to him, Layla suddenly becomes the face of the outsiders threatening his home. To her, he's infuriating, stubborn, and impossible to ignore. What starts as a spark turns into a rivalry that burns through gossip feeds, fake smiles, and late-night arguments that feel a little too much like honesty. In a town where everyone is watching, Layla has to decide if protecting her family's image is worth losing the one person who makes her feel real. ________________________________ Tropes: ~College town / coastal setting 🌊 ~Rivals to lovers ☕️❤️ ~Slow burn 🔥 ~Small town gossip 🗞️ ~Emotional healing & self discovery 💡 ~Complicated families 🧑🤝🧑 ~no smut ❌
