Marion Keymis feels like an old woman at fifty-five. She's been married, owns her own coffee shop but lacks love, except for her enthusiastic Dachshund, Beans.

Gina Mavenbury is a successful romance author in her prime at forty-five, but she's alone since suffering a tragic lost love.

Will a spilled cup of coffee and a racy story idea give enough sparks to caffeinate energy between two lovers or will age, dogs and flaming coffee machines block love?

Come in, grab a coffee at Marion's and find out!

This is a fun, heart-warming, companion holiday novella to "Ransom to Love" so you'll meet some familiar characters but it can be read as a standalone. You will get a slight spoiler for Ransom to Love by knowing the characters better but don't let that stop you - warm yourself up out of the cold with Marion, Gina, Beans, Winnie & Callum.
