‘Gay’ as in happy. ‘Queer’ as in family. Seth Regan was born to be an entrepreneur, but try telling that to a bank. With no way to invest in his goals, he works in a grocery store to get by. He spends his spare time with his best friends, scouring thrift stores and daydreaming about amazing things that will never happen. When broke and brooding artist Zane Carroll receives a surprise inheritance, his friends direct him Seth’s way. Before long, they have plans to open Agenda: a coffeehouse for the LGBTQ community. For Seth, it’s everything he’s ever wanted. For Zane, it’s an opportunity he never thought he’d have. The only problem? It’s not easy to focus on starting a business when you’re falling for your business partner. Seth and Zane agree to keep things professional, but everyone can see that's not going to happen. Seth is enchanted by Zane’s nonchalance and generosity. Zane is struck by Seth’s ambition and enthusiasm. If they wake up and smell the coffee beans, they might have a chance at love. But juggling a new business and a new relationship at the same time might be more difficult than it seems. The Coffee Agenda is the first book in the Agenda series. You won’t find too much angst in this one, but you will find an adorable dog, a feisty espresso machine, enough coffee to keep the average human awake for three days straight, and of course, a happily ever after. The Agenda books are a series of standalone gay millennial romantic comedies set in Oregon. In this state, recreational cannabis use is legal, and the characters take advantage of this! These stories also use the word ‘queer’ as a reclaimed slur, so if these things make you uncomfortable, the Agenda series might not be for you. Otherwise, enjoy!
