    Summary

    Two hot young men in their twenties meet in the French countryside, indulging in a holiday romance of a lifetime, with nothing to lose!

    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

    “Nicky I, I promise I wasn’t snooping. I was doing the wash and I turned out your trouser pockets like I always do and”
    Sarah placed a letter in the middle of the table.
    Nick's heart dropped into his stomach. It was one of his letters from Charlie. He could see Charlie’s signature at the bottom of the page.

    All my love, Forever yours
    Charlie

    How could Nick explain this away?
    “Charlie is a very special friend, isn’t he?” Sarah said delicately, still watching her son with that look he couldn’t understand.
    ...........
    Nick and Charlie meet for the first time at an all-boys boarding school in the year 1936. Despite the expectations of society the two boys fall deeply for one another even as the looming cloud of another great war begins to descend over England.

    Summary

    She turns and sees two men making their way down the wooden stairs, a dog trotting at their side. When they reach the beach, the smaller man unclips the lead and the dog immediately scampers off, running into the water. The men keep walking, holding hands and chatting with one another. She’s too far away to hear them from her perch above the beach, but they look happy. Content.

    As they approach the water’s edge, the larger man shucks his shoes and pulls his shirt off, dropping it down onto the sand. His golden hair flashes in the sunlight and the smaller man turns to him, laying his hands on his chest and tipping his face up for a kiss.

    Or: an outsider POV story of a woman on holiday who sees Nick and Charlie at the beach with their dog and gets to witness their love.

    Summary

    You watch him dance for a few minutes now, watch him dance so freely, sensual and endearingly off-beat, your lips form a smile almost of their own accord.

    Everything about him captures your every interest and you feel a want in you you’ve never felt before. But it’s not only for his body, you want to know everything about him, you want to know what makes him so carefree and completely lost and self-sufficient in his own happiness, want to know what he loves and what he doesn’t, want to know what makes him him.

    Summary

    Nick Nelson, 24, is struggling to process the massive change of direction his life has taken in such a short period of time. Money is tight and his mental health is frayed.
    His friends and family are worried about him, but he's fine, just fine. Honest.

    His best friends, Tara and Darcy, persuade him that the solution to his money worries is to rent out his spare room for 6 months. He just needs to find someone suitable.

    Charlie Spring, 22, is fed up of being walked all over by his (ex) boyfriend. He needs to move out of their shared flat ASAP if Ben is ever going to accept that they are over. He just needs to find somewhere affordable and, preferably, available immediately - not an easy feat in London. His sister suggests he should look slightly further afield. Kent sounds like a good option.

    Summary

    “Nick!” Charlie exclaims, suddenly holding his cheeks between his hands, forcing Nick to look at him, “Nick, calm down,” he continues, his voice growing impossibly soft, “I’m here, it was only a dream. I’m here.”

    Charlie brushes his thumbs over Nick’s heated skin. It feels wet to the touch and with embarrassment, Nick realises that he’s started to cry. His hands come up to rub his eyes dry but Charlie is faster and moves his own to gather the few escaping tears with his fingers.

    “Hey, it’s okay. I know how lingering such dreams can be. Do you know why I even ended up there? It doesn’t really sound like something I’d do,” Charlie chuckles and Nick knows it’s mostly to lighten the mood, to put Nick a little more at ease and god, he's so in love with him.
