    Summary

    The summer before his senior year of college at NYU, TK finds himself in Galveston, Texas, working at a restaurant on the beach. It’s there that he meets Carlos, a fellow server with a heartstopping smile and a need for a temporary break from his own life back in Austin. Without planning it, the two of them fall into a whirlwind romance that’s a bad idea for a million different reasons, yet they can’t figure out how to stay away.

    Summary

    Despite being a big fan of animals, TK Strand has never owned one. He’s never had a reason to enter a pet store, until he gets caught in a torrential downpour.

    Carlos Reyes knows a lot about pet stores. It comes with the territory, considering he works at one. That being said, none of his in-store training ever taught him how to help a beautiful, rain-soaked stranger pick up the aquarium rock display they just knocked over.

    OR

    The Tarlos pet store meet-cute.

    Summary

    “Try this,” Paul had said when he asked. When he asked. Because all he’s been doing in the two months since he moved here is trying to curate a routine he can keep up with filled with support groups that are meant to help. Grief, AA, private therapy sessions. And maybe they’re right. Paul, his dad, his therapist. Maybe something other than support groups would help.

    And with his options limited, the book club at the Reyes Café could be a good choice. Tea, coffee, sweet treats, LGBTQ+ books. Anyone welcome.

    TK wonders if anyone includes grieving New Yorkers with addiction issues and a tendency to ruin everything he loves.

    After losing his mom and moving states, TK finds comfort in a stranger who may need the comfort just as much. A story of loss, love, and learning to live again.
