Vanilla Chai and Pumpkin Spice

School. Coffee. Chaos.

For as long as James Evans can remember, his life has revolved around those same three constants. Well, that and his seven-year streak of hatred for the cocky, mysterious soccer player in his grade: Gabriel Cruz.

But junior year has other plans.

When James is forced into tutoring Gabriel in exchange for academic glory, things begin to shift, and slowly, James starts to see the boy beneath all the sarcasm, cocky smirks, and blue eyes. The boy who knows exactly how to get under his skin... and maybe through the wall around his heart James has spent so much time building.

In a story deemed cozy, heartwarming, and emotionally grounded by readers, Vanilla Chai and Pumpkin Spice has that warm, autumn feel that makes readers want to curl into a blanket by the fireplace, while also maintaining that realistic, sometimes even slightly dramatic edge that makes this story truly unforgettable.
