Description: As manager of the historic Village Blend coffeehouse, Clare Cosi can steam a fantastically foamy cappuccino and press a perfect pot of Jamaica Blue Mountain. But suddenly she finds herself dealing with a mystery that's just too hot to handle...

The Barista and the Fashionista

To Clare Cosi's surprise, this fall's hottest fashion trend is anything caffeinated -- because designer Lottie Harmon, a loyal coffeehouse customer, has just created an ingenious collection of coffee-inspired fashion accessories. So naturally Lottie chooses the Villa Blend as the perfect backdrop for fall Fashion Wee insiders to view her new line of "Java Jewelry."

When barista Tucker unwittingly serves a poisonous latte to a prominent figure on the fashion scene, Clare suspects that the real target may have been Lottie. Now she must protect her thriving business from negative publicity, Lottie from any further danger, and Tucker from murder charges -- even if it means jolting the fashion world with some shocking secrets...
