Love, With Extra Foam

In this heartwarming companion sequel to Pumpkin Latte Love, Jason Montgomery—Jaxson's fiercely loyal, theatrical gay best friend—is used to playing the supporting role. While Jaxson and Maya, whose love story captured hearts, are now happily established and raising their daughter, Wren, Jason pours his energy into managing Home Ice café, hiding his deepest vulnerabilities behind sharp wit, tireless caretaking, and polished public performance.

Enter Elliot Shaw, a methodical architectural restoration professional hired to renovate the neighboring Harwood Memorial Hall. Where Jason relies on charm and improvisation, Elliot operates by blueprints, plumb lines, and guarded emotional distance, afraid of putting down permanent roots.

When structural crises, permit battles, and a major restoration offer in Portsmouth push them into close quarters, their initial friction sparks a tender, slow-burning romance. But to build something lasting, Jason must stop performing and state what he honestly wants, while Elliot must decide if staying is a choice worth making.

Love, With Extra Foam is a witty, emotionally grounded romance about dismantling your defenses and choosing to build a shared future together.
