But, sexy stranger, Mac Jenssen strolls into her cafe and before she knows it, they’ve both sipped on the legendary love concoction.

In fact, the more he comes to know Eva, the more he’s considering a permanent move. Too bad she’s made up her mind about him, and the odds aren’t in his favor.

With town gossip and crazy bat-wielding locals, Eva and Mac face an uphill battle. It might be opposites attract or even fate, but they will have to learn to trust in each other and the power of love if they ever want to find their happily ever after.

Delilah is skeptical, but also intrigued…

Turns out, a long-time friend of Chance’s knows about some hidden treasure map that’s about to be auctioned off and he wants Delilah’s help. The catch? They’ll have to “borrow” the map belonging to legendary captain Fraleigh.

Can she break out of her shell and work with the one man she doesn’t trust in order to find the treasure of a lifetime?
