   Summary

   School's out for summer!

   Best mates and teaching colleagues Harry and Louis are determined to make the most of their holiday, transforming it from a summer off into a summer on with excellent food, low-stress travel, commitment-free relaxation, time with their mates and, for Harry, a bit of romance. Trouble is, London's dating pool is currently quite shallow and Harry and Louis are each guarding a secret that may thwart their well-laid plans.

   Intentionally single Louis quickly discovers that helping Harry find love is an exercise in self-flagellating futility while Harry struggles mightily to reconcile his own fraught feelings. When luck finally strikes, can Louis step aside and make room for another man in Harry's life? Can Harry bury his true desires and open his heart to someone new? Most importantly, will their friendship survive the gauntlet?
