Growing up, Callie Richelieu could not await the day she would finally be able to leave the family business. The hotel she grew up in and a family tragedy had been becoming more and more of a burden - until one day she couldn't take it anymore.  Years later, tragedy strikes again and Callie is ripped out of everything out she has built up for herself. Driven by guilt she accepts the family legacy and goes back to the one place she never wanted to return to.

Things go from bad to worse when the financial situation becomes more and more worrisome. While Callie is struggling to keep the business from falling apart, the last thing she needs is a certain presumptuous kitchen help/bellhop by the name of Vincent in her life. Yet when someone starts to sabotage her efforts, they need to combine forces and learn to work together in order to save the hotel.

And who knows, returning to the Richelieu might be exactly what Callie needs in order to face her demons and maybe discover love along the way.

The Coffee Bean by Stracy2
25 parts Complete
Emmy Lorraine is living her life exactly the way she wants to - owning and running her quaint coffee shop, The Coffee Bean, and enjoying her solitary, peaceful adult life - no strings attached, and certainly no unwanted communication with her pushy, controlling parents. But a recent fling with a man she barely knows has left her in a predicament that she never could have predicted. Pregnant and single, Emmy has to face the biggest hurdle of her life, and when Ben McAllister suddenly comes back into the picture, she really doesn't know how to reconcile her fierce independent nature with her constant, inconvenient attraction to him. Add to the complicated mess the ghost that haunts her coffee shop, and Emmy's life really takes a turn for the confusing. The ghost seems to be trying to communicate with her, but at her failure to grasp its meaning, the haunting becomes more intense, forcing her to reconsider the future of The Coffee Bean - her livelihood. As her relationship with Ben progresses into something she'd never expected, Emmy fights her own natural instincts to back away, to get away from the confusion and chaos inside her heart. But as much as she'd like to think she can handle everything on her own, it's Ben's arms that she really wants to fall into at the end of each day. And as they begin to work together to solve The Coffee Bean's problems, to prepare for a child that neither of them expected to have, they find themselves pushed closer and closer together than either of them had imagined. With the unexpected arrival of Emmy's parents, whom she hasn't spoken to in nearly ten years, comes further complications - questions and anxieties that could break Emmy and Ben apart for good. But the ghost at The Coffee Bean isn't finished with them yet, and as they uncover the meaning of her haunting and communication, they learn more about their own relationship. Emmy might just realize that her heart really can open to Ben more than she'd ever wanted to believe.
