Violet Rothko

It’s nothing like a typical boy-girl romance.

Violet is a shy barista, asked on a date by the equally-shy Roger, who has recently become a regular at Gold Cup Coffee. Both have the night of their lives. But starting the following Monday, Violet begins evading Roger and lying to him every time they meet—and Roger begins second-guessing every little thing he did that night. The answer to her sudden change, when it comes, is totally unexpected, and sad, and it causes Roger to look at life in a new way. Available from Authorstand.com.
