Lexi Lopez is Fu*king Lost

by Dori Aleman-Medina

Lexi Lopez

The voices in my head make me feel as if I’m not enough.
I’m not pretty.
I’m not smart.
Stupid girl.
Worthless…
Each wrong choice echoes, swirling and cutting, deep within the recesses of my brain.


Joshua CastilloThere is strength in tenderness.
My heart was broken, and I tried to pick up the pieces.
Loser.
Gamer.
Waste of talent.
And although she's gone, her words still hurt.

After years trapped in a marriage built on fear, Alexis “Lexi” Lopez finally finds the courage to run—and begins the long journey back to herself. Now the proud owner of a cozy coffee shop in the Tower District, Lexi is learning to trust in second chances and the quiet beauty of starting over.

Then she meets Joshua Castillo, a kind-hearted social worker with a gentle smile and a past that mirrors her own. What begins as an unexpected friendship blooms into something tender and honest—a love built on honesty, patience, and the shared hope of healing.

But as old wounds and family tensions resurface, Lexi and Joshua must fight to protect what they’ve found. Together, they discover that true love isn’t about perfection. It’s about two souls choosing each other, again and again, even after the storm.

A story of renewal, forgiveness, and the transformative power of love—where healing becomes the most beautiful form of romance.
