Love & Lattes at The Mermaid Cafe
(2025)(A book in the Midlife Meet Cute series)
A novel by Melinda Curtis
Fans of Hallmark movies set in small towns with quirky characters will enjoy this midlife, clean romantic comedy between a seaside coffee shop owner and the man who wants to buy her out and build a chain coffee shop in its place.
She's happy with her life as is.
A decade ago, recently divorced Lena Rhodes bought the abandoned Mermaid Cafe, fixed it up, and began a journey to build it into an institution on the pier in Mermaid Bay, Oregon. She likes to tell people she didn't save the Mermaid Cafe as much as it saved her. It's her baby. And the town of Mermaid Bay has become her found family. At forty, she's not going anywhere.
He needs to prove to his father that he's worthy.
Cade Delaney has been his father's right hand man for over twenty years. Now in his mid-forties, he's ready to take the reins. Only his father still wants proof that Cade can handle the business. If Cade can put together a big real estate deal to develop the beach boardwalk in Mermaid Bay, his father will finally retire and Cade can finally be his own man.
There are sparks from the moment they meet.
Sometimes your worst enemy turns out to be the person you didn't know you needed.
