*****
ONE TROPICAL PARADISE AND A RICH BREW OF MEN WHO GIVE AVA BUTTERFLIES...BUT WHICH ONE WILL CAPTURE HER HEART?

Latte-lover Ava Langston knows exactly what she wants: her very own café in a vintage arcade in Bath and a life free of complicated relationships. But when her long-distance dad phones insisting she hop on the next plane to Costa Rica to meet his brand new wife, her plans go awry.

Ava has no intention of jetting to Latin America to acquire a stepmother - until, that is, her father offers her the chance to manage her own beachfront café there. The lure of frothing cappuccinos in a land where the coffee beans grow proves irresistible.

But she has not planned on Santiago, her sexy-yet-stubborn business rival, or rugged Ryan whose idea of romance is swinging through the rainforest canopy at 6am.

Two very different irresistible men; one woman who just cannot decide...
