Coffee, Tea, or Me?

For Howie, the lonely barista, he longed for the dream life. Husband, house with a white picket fence, 2.5 kids, and a dog. Sadly, all he could get were meaningless one-night stands leaving him feeling…empty.

Jackson Milsap, the introverted writer, quietly pined for Howie from the corner of the café. Stepping outside of his comfort zone and asking him out on a date sent his social anxiety into overdrive. That was until the day he came to Howie’s rescue, forever changing both their lives.
