Coffee shop owner Finn Allen just lost his best barista.

While small-town living had its perks, experienced baristas wasn't one of them. His one request for his job? They must love coffee.

When a tea-drinking blast from the past, Samantha Whitcomb applies for the job, Finn is torn. On the one hand, he's desperate for help. On the other, she was such a square back in high school. Then again, Finn had evolved from his old playboy ways. Maybe Sam's rockin' figure wasn't the only thing that had changed about her. Maybe she was cool now.

Their strained past is put to the test when Finn takes her under his wing. But there's something Sam is hiding. Something darker than the French Roast. A secret that might just destroy a budding friends-to-lovers story.

Must Love Coffee is part of the Later-In-Life series set in the small town of Bucksville, New Hampshire. Other books in this series include Doppelganger and Taking Stock. Each book can be read in any order.
