(also released as The Color of Love, with a bonus prologue)
Award-winning author Mollie Mathews returns with a sensual later-in-life love story where desire, danger, and destiny collide.
High in the misty hills of Boquete, Panama, where emerald coffee plantations cling to volcanic slopes and secrets are buried as deep as roots in fertile soil, one woman’s inheritance will change everything.
44-year-old illustrator Mary-Anne Calder came to Panama to settle an estate. She didn’t expect to fall into a love that could destroy her—or save her.
Drawn to a remote coffee plantation rich with history and shadowed by family rivalry, she finds herself entangled with emerald tycoon and billionaire hotelier Rafael Álvarez—a man as intoxicating as the land itself. Powerful, enigmatic, and dangerously magnetic, he is everything she knows she should avoid… and everything her heart recognises.
As passion ignites beneath tropical skies, truths emerge that threaten to tear them apart. Loyalties are tested. Old grudges resurface. And the land they both love becomes the battleground for desire, legacy, and survival.
In a place where love is never simple and trust comes at a cost, she must decide whether to walk away—or risk everything for a future written in fire.
Love in Panama is a lush, emotionally charged romance set against the breathtaking beauty of Central America, perfect for readers who crave escapism, slow-burn tension, and irresistible alpha heroes with hidden depths.
