Summary
At 28, Nick Nelson is living a life that should make him happy: he's got a good job, solid mates, and an on-again-off-again girlfriend he's known since secondary school. But for years, maybe as long as he can remember, he's felt like something was missing. Worse, he can't shake the nagging fear that he's the problem, that something might be wrong with him.
Charlie Spring is only 27, but he's already divorced, burnt out halfway through his masters degree, and his mental health is held together by twine and prayers. The only thing that gets him out of bed most days (other than his menagerie of pets) is his work as a wildlife rehabber at the Haven. Saving those animals is his focus in life now; he can't be bothered to worry about saving himself. And after what he endured at the hands of his ex-husband Ben, he's sworn off love for good.
...Then Nick finds an injured duckling.

Summary
31 year old Nick Nelson retired from professional rugby and is giving Sarah Nelson a well-deserved year off from running Lavender Fields Bed and Breakfast. And Nick’s doing fine, thank you very much. Until the guest name C. Spring changes everything.
Note: 1-31 are the original story (Nick's point of view). Chapters 32 - 60 are from when Charlie bullied me into providing his perspective, too.
