In the whimsical village, nestled among cobblestones and coffee-scented air, Athinia Tandino, a fiercely independent baker with a leather jacket, a meddlesome Yorkie named Snowball, and a kitchen full of sass, runs a cozy café and bookstore. Between raspberry disasters, goat-drawn cart rides, gossiping regulars, rogue piglets, and jam-related chaos, Athinia serves warmth, humor, and a longing she barely admits to herself. But when Callum Pickleford, a quiet farmer with emotional luggage and livestock who believes in anarchy, arrives in town, the quiet rhythms of Athinia's solitary life begin to shift. As the seasons turn, so too does her heart, steeped slowly in affection, hilarity, and homemade tarts. Love, Lattes, and Livestock is a laugh-out-loud, tender, and emotionally rich journey through small-town absurdity and the cautious bloom of unexpected love.
