Lena has always done what’s right. Good grades. Church girl. Dependable. Her world is small by design. Her parents design. With her older brother shadowing her every move, there’s never been space to breathe, let alone fall for someone like Caleb.

Caleb always noticed the girl tucked behind Marcus’s shadow. But this is senior year, and he wont miss his shot at ringing it in right.

When a local skate competition puts Caleb back in the spotlight, everything changes. Lena steps into a world she’s only watched from a distance. Where she begins to find her voice. She finds a place to feel something bigger than fear.

As pressure from her family mounts and Caleb’s past refuses to stay buried, Lena has to decide: live the life that was chosen for her, or fight for the one she’s just starting to imagine.

In the chaos of wheels and whispered rumors, grace is messy, love is louder and growing up might be the bravest thing of all.

Set in a small-town café where every corner holds a memory, Mint and Regret is a poignant story of redemption, unbreakable bonds, and a love strong enough to face the truth.
