Coffee in Common

by Dee Mann

All Jillian wanted that fine May morning was to pick up the coffee order for herself and her two work friends, just as she had done every third workday for several years. How could she know a chance, silly comment to the barista might change her life forever?

All Paul wanted that morning was for his best friend Rob to stop talking about baseball so he could concentrate on deciding whether to order one of Gil’s amazing blueberry muffins or a cinnamon-raisin bagel with cream cheese. How could he know that in a few seconds he’d find himself yelling in the ear of the woman in front of them?

All Priya wanted was to enjoy having finally found a job where her talent was valued and her looks irrelevant. How could she know her workmate’s reaction to a comment in a coffee shop would set in motion events that might make all her dreams come true?

Welcome to Coffee in Common.

It’s spring, 2004. Join Jillian, Paul, Rob, Priya, Lisa, and others as they experience the most amazing month of their lives, a month of revelations and challenges in which new friendships are formed, new loves are found, and old loves are renewed.

About the author

I was born and raised in a suburb of Boston, Massachusetts. I've spent most of my life in the area, except for brief stays in Las Vegas and Los Angeles in my early twenties. I'm married and have two grown children, a boy and a girl. I'm a very private person who'd much rather sit and talk with a friend over a cup of tea or a glass of wine than attend a big party. I have no desire to ever appear on any (un)reality or any other TV show although I might agree to appear on the Tonight Show if my book became a best seller and Leno personally called to ask me. Have I mentioned I have a very active imagination! I've almost always been self-employed at one thing or another. Right out of high school, I spent about eighteen months working in a local department store, now long out of business, and that was enough to convince me I wanted to be my own boss. I currently manage websites for a small group of clients and occasionally do a little proofing and editing. I enjoy writing (of course!) and gardening as well as cooking unusual dishes and trying new wines.

Ay first I want sure I was going to like this book. There were so many small stories surrounding the main character I thought it might take away from the underlining story. Boy was I wrong. Everything went perfectly together! Such a cute romantic story that I am pleased I took a chance on!
