Sexpresso

Book excerpt: Attractive coffee shop manager, Catherine Cox, has been challenged to double the sales at her London-based shop, The Coffee Station. If the business is going to survive, it needs to start making more money. The solution, she knows, is to somehow make The Coffee Station stand out against the big chain competitors. Little does she know, her staff have been discussion strategy for a long time, and the answer doesn’t just lie with steamy espressos. Can this serious businesswoman put aside her assumptions about the market and embrace a darker side to her café’s hot roast? What will it take to please staff and customers, and the demands of a silent partner who has more than coffee on his mind? Sexpresso is a 18,000-word novella and was originally published as part of the Hot Roast Romance And Coffee Confessions anthology.
