A Barista's Guide to Love & Larceny

Dani Lionet spends her time between classes, work, and hiding her unique ability even though she attends a magical university. That way no one else can take advantage of it like her estranged parents used to. So, when a visiting professor calls Dani out on her ability, she’s terrified. However, it looks like Professor Silva only wants to pay Dani to use it to investigate a famous company's soon-to-be-released lucid dreaming product that has awful side effects. Dani already has so much on her plate but a little snooping should be easy enough. Meanwhile, she has a swoony distraction in Kass, her endearingly cute new regular at the coffeeshop she works at. Dani has never had a boyfriend before, but this may be her chance—even if she can't exactly tell him about her ability, or what she's doing for Silva and her new friend Oliver. Can Dani help with the professor's "group project," learn to embrace her ability, and get to know Kass? Or will it all fall apart? Financial struggles, fantasy, and first crushes are brewed into this timely exploration of the costs that can come with higher education and the ways corporations exploit the working class!
