Passing Through Cafe

When Oliver applied for a job in the Hell dimension on a whim, he didn't expect it to turn his whole world-or his heart-entirely upside down. Recently graduated at twenty-six, and two months behind on rent, Oliver Barnes is desperate. So desperate, in fact, that he applies for a job in the Greed district of Hell's Pentagram. But when he misses his train and, subsequently, his job interview, he stumbles, instead, upon a strange little coffee shop in the middle of Purgatory's barren desert-and into an unexpected opportunity. It isn't the job he came to Hell for, but maybe it's exactly the job he needs. As he navigates the demon dimension and tries to survive the ridiculous shenanigans of his unholy co-workers, Oliver soon falls head-over-ass for a tentacled lawyer with electric fingers and a deadly-sharp grin. Together, they discover that, sometimes, love and happiness can be just a train ride away. Join Oliver and the rest of the eccentric staff of The Passing Through Cafe in Nik Knight's new rom-com urban fantasy series, full of found family, embarrassing encounters, spicy situations, and love that crosses dimensions

When Jude entered The Passing Through Cafe, Toni thought he'd be nothing more than a fun night, a challenge to win, a fixation to satisfy; Toni didn't expect Jude to be exactly what he never knew he was looking for. As the rightful heir to the Maryno family dynasty, Toni grew up with clear expectations of who he was supposed to be, and more importantly, who he wasn't. Growing up a constant disappointment isn't a childhood experience he recommends, but he's come a long way from the little boy who could never measure up to his family's toxic standards. At twenty-nine, he's finally proud of the man he's built himself into, and while the routine of his life is simple and, sure, sometimes lonely, he's content. Or so he thought. Enter Jude, a human from across the veil, who ignites something in him that he's never allowed himself to explore, and Toni can't wait to burn. While the spark of attraction is instantaneous, he knows it's going to take more than a romp in the hay to win the human over. So Toni quickly sets to work, proving to Jude that home can be found in the most unexpected places, that chosen family is always worth fighting for, and that their love is far from small. Join Toni and the rest of the eccentric staff of The Passing Through Cafe in Nik Knight's rom-com urban fantasy series, full of found family, hilarious hijinks, spectacular self-discovery, and love that defies definition.

When it came to love, Rusty had resigned himself to never being enough, and Gem knew he would always be too much. Turns out, they were both wrong. As a Pyclon from Lust, Rusty learned early the cruel rules of the Pentagram. Happiness is for the privileged. Hope for the weak. And absolutely nothing comes free. So he accepts a life of happy enough, of good enough, of just… enough. Anything more is impossible for someone like him. That is, until he meets Gemae Akyllo. With a brain that never rests and an ass that won't quit, Gem is objectively a lot. His physical size is rivaled only by that of his personality-neither of which he will ever apologize for-but there's a cost. He's fun for a night, chosen first for a good time, but come morning, his bed is cold and empty. Always wanted, but never kept. That is, until he meets Rusty Róisyn. Rusty never wanted love, and Gem doesn't need it. But together, they find it all the same. Join Gem and Rusty and the rest of the eccentric staff of the Passing Through Cafe in Nik Knight's rom-com, urban fantasy series, full of found family, absurd antics, healing hope, and a love that takes their hearts by storm.
