New Yorker Clare Cosi manages a coffee shop, but this
summer she’ll leave it behind as she heads for the
Hamptons—and perhaps the biggest jolt of her life...
Clare Cosi’s new friend, millionaire David Mintzer, has an
offer no New York barista could turn down: an all-expenses-
paid summer away from the sticky city. At his Hamptons
mansion, she’ll relax, soak up the sun, and, oh yes, train
the staff of his new restaurant. So Clare packs up her
daughter, her former mother-in-law, and her special recipe
for iced coffee—for what she hopes will be one de-latte-
ful summer…
Soon, Clare tends the coffee bar at her first Hamptons
gala. But the festivities come to a bitter end when an
employee turns up dead in David’s bathroom—a botched
attempt on the millionaire’s life. Thanks to the Fourth of
July fireworks no one heard any gunshots, and the police
are stuck in holiday traffic. Concerned for everyone’s
safety, Clare begins to investigate. What she finds will
keep her up at night—and it’s not the java jitters…
