An Unexpected Blend: A Man in the Machine - Steamy Paranormal Romantic Comedy

She bought a failing seaside hotel. The antique coffee machine came with a man inside. Mara Ellis has six weeks to prove that Bellweather House can survive. What she does not need is a temperamental antique espresso machine criticising her coffee in the voice of an infuriatingly charming stranger. Julian Vale has been trapped inside the machine for nearly seventy years. He can make flawless coffee, offer devastatingly dry advice and, when the machine is warm, step into Mara's world. He cannot leave its reach. Not yet. As hotel disasters pile up and their sharp exchanges turn dangerously intimate, Mara discovers that freeing Julian may mean risking the machine, the relaunch and the man she is falling for. Keeping him close would be safer. It would also be a cage. With the future of Bellweather House on the line, Mara and Julian must decide whether love is worth one impossible gamble. An Unexpected Blend is a warm, witty and steamy paranormal romantic comedy novella featuring British banter, forced proximity, magical realism, seaside hotel chaos and a satisfying happily ever after.
