About Ley
Ley Tate is a passionate writer who finds meaning in the quiet beauty of everyday life. At 28, she recently began a new chapter—both in her personal life as a newlywed and in her creative journey as a debut author.
Deeply connected to nature, Ley often draws inspiration from long walks in the woods, the rhythm of the ocean, and the stillness of early mornings. She believes in the quiet power of kindness, the importance of karma, and the resilience of the human heart.
Her debut novel, Hawaiian Coffee, is a tender exploration of love, grief, and the possibility of healing—rooted in the belief that even in our most broken moments, love can find us.
When she’s not writing, Ley enjoys spending time with her close-knit family, reading character-driven love stories, and seeking out places that make her feel grounded, peaceful, and whole.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Hawaiian Coffee
Max Swatts never expected his world to unravel with one late-night phone call. When his father is diagnosed with terminal cancer, Max steps in—only to find himself face-to-face with Lydia Abrahms, a young nurse with a quiet strength and a shadowed past.
Lydia isn’t just there to help. She’s running—from a toxic hospital job, a violent ex, and memories she can’t outrun. But something about Joseph Swatts and his warm, loving family makes her feel safe… for the first time in years.
As Max battles guilt, grief, and unexpected desire, Lydia must decide whether she’s ready to let someone in again.
But when fate forces them into each other’s lives in deeper ways than either expected, can two broken people create something whole?
Hawaiian Coffee is a heart-tugging, slow-burn romance about grief, love, and the kind of healing that sneaks up on you when you least expect it.
