    Summary

    Pat Butcher is good at one thing, and one thing only: failing.

    Still feeling the repercussions of his marriage falling apart, Pat is doing everything he can to keep his bookstore, The Beaver Burrow, afloat. But as bills keep piling up and customers seemingly vanish into thin air, he’s forced to search for new ways to bolster his floundering business.

    So, when an opportunity to partner with their local museum arises Pat jumps to accept it. Only now it means he’s forced to work with their assistant curator, Captain Theodore Winston, a man Pat has been embroiled in a bitter rivalry with for the better part of a year.

    All Pat has to do is plan one event without murdering his colleague, which may prove to be impossible.

    Probably.

    Summary

    The Captain - Edward ‘Ted’ Williamson - knows he’s not an easy person to love. After leaving the army and coming to terms with his own sexuality, he has found himself stuck in a rut, constantly making the same mistakes and falling in unrequited love with the wrong people. According to his therapist, he ‘self-sabotages’ by ‘burying his emotions’.

    A tragedy leads to a bittersweet opportunity for a fresh start in a sleepy village, in a cottage with a yellow door and honeysuckle growing up the walls. There’s a disarming amount of room to breathe, and the chance to reluctantly be befriended by the eccentric locals.

    Summary

    If you had told Alan a few hours ago that he’d be sitting here thinking about kissing smarmy, self-obsessed Ian Malcolm, of all people, he’d have said it was more unlikely than dinosaurs coming back to life. But – they’re probably about to die, he’s never kissed a man before, and at this point he’d do just about anything to get Malcolm to stop talking.
