    But could this change their lives forever?

    Charlie Spring is at an impasse in life; he is four years out of college, in a publishing job that was going well... until they laid off half the staff, including him. Things keep getting worse until an opportunity presents itself, and he takes a chance of a lifetime.
    Landing in Toulouse a few days later, he makes his way to a small medieval town and begins to set up a dream life for himself.
    -
    Nick Nelson's world is shaken when he suffers an injury in pro rugby, which sees him laid up for months. He's fed up and frustrated at the fact that he can't find anything else in his life that's worthwhile once rugby is out of the equation.
    Following his grandmother's death a couple of years previously, he inherited her beautiful house in a small medieval town outside Toulouse. It needs a little bit of love and attention. He packs his bags and goes off to discover a side of himself he never knew existed.

    Summary

    A doctor steps in and blocks his way. “Sir, you can’t go in there!”

    “No, no, no,” says Charlie, “you don’t understand—”

    “Are you family?”

    “No, but—”

    “Family only,” he informs him sternly, disappearing behind the glass door. The doctor joins the throng of medical personnel surrounding the man’s body, and when they wheel the gurney out of sight, Charlie staggers back from the glass wall like he’s been punched.

    Shock and helplessness coalesce within him. Inexplicably, he finds himself laughing, his trembling fingers lifting to his lips to contain the mirthless giggles that spill forth. “Oh, God,” he whispers. “I was going to marry that man.”

    The nurse at the desk drops her jaw. “Oh, luv.”
