"It all started when she began working at the bookshop. My butterflies, flushed cheeks, nervous stuttering... I can't get her out of my head. "
Daniel Rivera, a college student fresh out of his parents house, has been working at Golden Latte, the tiny coffee shop in the quaint little bookstore down main street. He was handsome, polite, and a total pushover in class and at work. However, he wasn't used to the spotlight, not at work, not at school, and definitely not in life. He was a small town boy trying to make the most of his tiny paycheck.
Things stay quiet, and life moves in a straight line for Daniel. That all changes when suddenly he's thrown into the world of Lina Granger, a new employee to the bookstore, and a new shift in Daniel's life. Suddenly, he's a lot more than the quiet barista who lets everyone at work step all over him.
The moment Daniel laid eyes on her he knew she was special. He knew she was the only woman who'd ever made him feel like he was the hero in the story. Lina pushed Daniel to speak out, to be extraordinary, and to be a better man.
Follow the tale of two lost individuals. Two halves of the same whole finding their way through something new to both of them, love.

Medium Latte for Ell-yot Hayul
[Slow Brew Series 1 of 2] [Completed] Look, I didn't mean to embarrass myself the first time I walked into Brewing Grounds. Or the second. Or...every other time since. But something about the place-and the barista with the messy ponytail and the glasses that she pushes up her nose-makes me forget how to form actual sentences. Bea. Her name's Bea. She spelled mine wrong on my cup the first day (Ell-yot Hayul), and now I'm kind of obsessed. Not with her. With medium lattes. With her handwriting. With the little hearts she scribbles on my cups. Okay... maybe a little bit with her. The point is: I'm a walking disaster around her, and I'm pretty sure she knows it. And okay, maybe I started showing up every morning at exactly 7:30 just to see her. And maybe I've been reading up on how to flirt because I thought that might help (it hasn't). But honestly, what's the worst that could happen? I embarrass myself again? (Already done that.) Spill coffee on my tie? (Happened last week.) Accidentally fall in love with the barista who writes flirty notes on my coffee cups? Oh, wait...
