The Cosy Coffee Shop of Promises
What you need to know before your trail
Mel’s dream of opening a coffee shop is finally a reality! A cosy little place turning out the best flat whites and most delicious pastries in Devon. In the picture-perfect town of Rabbit’s Leap no one can stand in her way – especially local pub owner, Tony. She doesn’t care how gorgeous he is, she will not let him steal her customers with his fancy new coffee machine!
There is only room in their small town for one coffee shop…but when Hurricane Val – aka her mother – is due to blow into town, Mel is in desperate need of an instant boyfriend. She can’t face another hunt to ‘find a man’ and while Tony may be her business rival, Mel can’t help but notice he’d make the perfect fake fiancé…
If they can strike a deal all they need to do is stick to it, no falling in love, no real feelings and definitely no dreams of a happy-ever-after!
Travel Guide
Rabbit’s Leap, Devon
Set in the small town called Rabbit’s Leap, a sadly fictional place as it sounds like just the kind of place you would want to visit, this is a story of good food, coffee and the way they bring people together.
Rabbit’s Leap might also refer to the leap of faith people take in this novel. How one coffee machine can turn around the fortunes of a seaside town -Mel is the owner of the coffee shop and she makes a deal with pub owner Tony who agrees not to use his coffee machine until after Mel’s shop shuts at 3pm. Tony is trying his hardest to keep hold of his pub open as it’s been in the family for many years. This is in fact the main setting of the novel and not so much the coffee shop of the title. Coffee is the focus though so you would be advised to visit Devon and find a cute coffee shop then your literary journey will be complete!
There are more than a few lovely coffee shops across Devon – three recommendations on the map for you! But what fun trying to find more and sampling those cakes along the way…
