First sentence: "Guess where I am? You can't imagine..." Pressing the phone to my ear, I waited for Mike Quinn's gravelly voice to take a cellular wave up the Eastern Seaboard.
Description: When a car bomb goes off outside this landmark shop, single-mom and manager Clare Cosi comes to the aid of an anonymous customer, one who turns out to be billionaire tech whiz Eric Thorner. In gratitude for saving his life, Eric hires Clare to create the most expensive coffee blend on the planet. But as Clare is pulled deeper into Eric's world -- a mesmerizing circle of cutting-edge luxuries and cutthroat rivalries -- she begins to wonder: Is this charming young CEO marked for termination? Or is he the one making a killing?

To solve this case, Clare will have to bribe a bomb squad lieutenant; conjure up a menu for a "billionaire's potluck"; fix her daughter's love life; stop a Slayer while working with one; and stay alive while doing it.
