Espresso Shot
by Cleo Coyle

Coffeehouse manager Clare Cosi rarely gets steamed. But ever since her ex-husband announced his plans to remarry, she's been making some vows of her own...

Roped into creating a gourmet coffee and dessert bar for her ex-husband's wedding, Clare faces off with the bride-to-be. Wealthy and sophisticated, the snarky Breanne has never been a low maintenance kind of gal, and now she's in full-blown bridezilla mode. The only way Clare can possibly deal with her is to focus on business. But murder is Clare's business, too, and when fatal accidents begin befalling people close to Breanne, Clare becomes suspicious. Is someone trying to sabotage this wedding? Kill Breanne? Clare decides to investigate. But what she uncovers, between steaming cappuccinos and roasting the world's rarest coffee beans, may just get her burned.
