    Summary

    “No problem,” Charlie replies quietly, eyes locked on me. Something fizzles between us, I swear, when he lifts his glass to his lips and regards me carefully over the rim. I wonder if he can tell that I want him.

     

    Or,

    Nick’s relationship is fixable, he swears. Until a certain curly haired boy walks in to his life.

    Sister fic to Catch Me If I Fall, although both can be read in either order.

    Summary

    Charlie wants his ex back. The problem is he’s in a new relationship, and this time it’s an open one.

    He knows they go to swingers parties together. He wants to go too, to prove he could be into that sort of thing. It's couples only. Not ideal, but also not a problem he can't solve.

    He needs to find a fake boyfriend, and fast. Enter Nick Nelson from work, serial womaniser and all-round irritating human being. He’s not Charlie’s first pick, but he’s probably the only person crazy and horny enough to go along with it. After all, it’s an opportunity for him to get laid as much as he wants while Charlie attempts to seduce his ex all over again. Win win.

    What could possibly go wrong?

    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

    March 2024: Nick and Charlie, platonic soulmates and partners in crime, are on the road trip of a lifetime around the beautiful and magical east coast of Australia. Charlie has barely seen his best friend since he left for uni over two years ago, and he's looking forward to catching up over three sun-soaked weeks packed full of breathtaking scenery, local wildlife, moonlit parties and seriously hot surfers.

    September 2015: 13-year-old Nick Nelson has no idea who he is or where he fits in. Then 11-year-old Charlie Spring, anxious overthinker and raging introvert, crashes rather messily into his life and changes it forever.

    A story about friendship, love and growing up, with a generous sprinkling of true travel stories, savage British banter and horny sparkles.
