The Sugar Spoon Diner: A Sentient Object Romance

Theo was the safe choice. He was loyal quiet. So quiet his girlfriend of five years left him for someone louder and more reckless. Heartbroken and reeling, Theo whispers a desperate plea to the give him one more chance at love. He never expected anyone to hear it. Especially not Aphrodite.

Now, Theo has been transformed into something else entirely, a chipped coffee mug at a magical diner that serves up second chances with a side of syrup.

Lilah is a hungry, uninspired artist who stumbles into The Sugar Spoon Diner in search of pancakes. What she finds is an oddly comforting mug that sparks the idea for her next piece —and perhaps something more. The waiter is strange, the atmosphere enchanted, and the coffee? Unmatched.

But nothing is what it seems at the Sugar Spoon. The longer Lilah visits the more she finds the diner odd.

As a god of longing oversees the service and lonely souls fill the booths, Lilah and Theo find themselves drawn together by fate, coffee, and a love that defies form. But if Theo wants to become human again and win Lilah’s heart, he’ll have to stop playing it safe and start fighting for love the way he never dared before.
