Jillene McDermott is raising two daughters, alone. Her coffee bar, Java the Hut, is on life support and the only place she can find a quiet moment is in the bathtub.

Claire and Faye, Jillene's teenage daughters, know their mom deserves some happiness. But their good intentions go wrong when infamous crime writer, Vince Tremonti, steps up to play Jillene's "boyfriend."

Vince has briefly returned to Blue Heron Beach to rethink his flagging career. He doesn't have time to get involved with anyone, much less a young widow with a ready-made family. Still, he owes 'the universe' a good deed or two.

But when a couple of dates threaten to become a summer fling, suddenly the breakfast lattes aren't the only brews steaming in Blue Heron Beach.
