Beanful Wishes by Susanne Ash

In the charming town of Wilmington, North Carolina, “Beanful Wishes” brews a heartwarming tale of love, dreams, and the magic hidden within the walls of The Coffee Loft.

Sophia Martinez, a spirited TV journalist with a knack for uncovering stories that touch the heart, stumbles upon the quaint coffee shop and its mysterious Wish Wall—a place where locals pin their deepest desires, hoping for a touch of magic. Intrigued by the wishes coming true, Sophia sets out to uncover the secret behind the phenomenon, only to find herself enchanted by Jake Harrison, the charismatic barista with dreams of his own.
Jake, an aspiring scriptwriter working behind the counter to fund his ambitions, is the mastermind behind the Wish Wall’s success. Using his talents and a dose of coffee shop charm, he brings people’s desires to life, one wish at a time. But when Sophia walks into his coffee shop, Jake finds himself wishing for something he hadn’t expected—love.
As their investigation into the Wish Wall brings them closer, Sophia and Jake embark on a journey filled with laughter, sweet moments, and cups of perfectly brewed coffee. However, as their story goes viral, the glare of the spotlight threatens to steam over their budding romance. With their dreams pulling them in different directions, Sophia and Jake must decide if what they have is worth fighting for.

Will the magic of the Wish Wall be enough to grant them their deepest wish of all—a chance at true love? Or will their connection evaporate like steam from a hot espresso shot?
