Raj To The Max

"I thought I'd be studying in peace, maybe exploring a few Yakut cafes, not getting tossed into rugby scrums and tackled by beefy boys from Saint Peter's."

In the fresh, completely unexpected sequel to Spice and Solace, Rajamanickam "Raj" Kumar is reluctantly whisked away from his comfortable life in Texas to Yakutsk-the coldest city in the world-for half his senior year, thanks to a foreign exchange program his parents forced him into. Leaving behind his beloved nail salon job, his amazing boss Miss Nong, his best friends Shruti, Nisha, and Asifa, and his caring boyfriend Riyaj, Raj braces himself for a lonely half-year of studying computer science at the Yakutsk School of STEM. But life takes an unexpected turn when he meets and is forced to room with his host family's son, Maxim "Max" Zakharov-a strikingly handsome biker with messy hair, tattoos, and eyes that are impossible to ignore.

Now, Raj faces a chilling struggle not just with the icy Yakut climate, but also with his own heart. Torn between his loyalty to Riyaj and his growing feelings for Max, he's caught in a whirlwind of emotions and dilemmas that could change everything. Raj's sheltered world is about to unravel in ways he absolutely never saw coming.
