    About this series

    Because every epic romance deserves an epic happy ending . . .

    All Charles Heppel wants is a wedding. It's not much to ask now that he's set his playboy days aside for his almost-ordained fiance. He can't wait for a lovely, lazy beach honeymoon with His Holy Hotness to continue Hugo's education in the bedroom.

    Surely this third wedding date will be the charm and won't get cancelled, will it? After all, Hugo's followed his calling almost to the end of his path to ordination. Nothing should keep him from gaining his own parish with Charles as his husband.

    Hugo's calling thinks differently, demanding he leaves for the remote island of Kara-Enys without Charles.

    That news should be shattering, but if Charles Heppel has one thing going for him, it's that he's relentlessly optimistic. And romantic. Most islands have beaches, don't they? He'll join Hugo to have the honeymoon first on their own version of Love Island. They can get married later!

    All he needs to do is find him . . .

    Contains mature themes.

      Opposites attract in this low-angst gay romance filled with British snark and humor. Life should be a breeze for a playboy like Charles Heppel. As the third son of an earl, he lives for the moment, partying and playing. Settling down isn't for him. Not when London is full of beautiful men who he hasn't one-and-done yet. To escape his family's nagging, Charles applies for a temp job that matches his playful skill set. A role in a Cornish classroom could be his until the summer, if Charles meets two conditions: he must move in with the headmaster's best friend, and teach him to be happy. Living with Hugo should be awkward. Charles is a free spirit, but Hugo's a man of faith, with morals. A man who almost took holy orders before disaster changed his direction. Only far from being a chore, Charles finds that making Hugo happy soon becomes his passion. Together, they share physical and emotional first times. Ones that change Charles, touching his soul. He wants Hugo for longer than they have left, but learning to love with his heart, not just his body, will take a leap of faith from Charles-in himself as well as Hugo. Contains mature themes.

      Solomon Trebeck's heart broke the night of his bi-awakening. Fifteen years later, Sol's back in Cornwall where it happened, single, shy, and oh-so lonely. Teaching art to kids wasn't his life plan. Neither is raising a teenage nephew, but with no family left to support him, a live-in job at a boarding school becomes his life raft. Problem: that life raft is sinking. Solution: Sol's first love could have the cash to keep it afloat. Reconnecting with Jace Pascoe might save the school-the one place Sol's nephew is happy. Asking for his help opens old wounds, but Jace helps to heal them, fusing Sol's broken heart back together. However, Jace has his own shadows, no matter how brightly his smile dazzles. Falling for Jace again could be so easy. It could also be a huge risk when neither of them plans to stay in Cornwall forever . . . Contains mature themes.

      Can Luke learn to love the man who left him? Headmaster Luke Lawson is committed to saving his boarding school before a cash crisis sinks it. He'll do anything to keep it afloat, even if that means accepting help from the man who broke his heart at uni. Nathan's offer to teach for free could be a blessing as long as Luke can harden his bruised heart. That's tough when they'll need to share living quarters and have a history of hook-ups. But Luke knows being compatible in bed isn't enough to build trust. It can't be when Nathan has always left him before morning. This time around, it feels different. Nathan's work overseas has changed him. Touched him. Opened a locked chamber in his heart that Luke is beginning to think must have been bruised in the past too. As pressure mounts, can Luke trust that Nathan's committed this time-not only to his school but to a shared future with him long term? Contains mature themes.

      Can Austin learn to love the opposite who attracts him? Austin Russell doesn't belong at a small school like Glynn Harber. He's meant to be a highflyer in finance, not a book-keeping bursar. Now there's only one renovation project left to budget, it's time he toughened his soft heart and got back to climbing the corporate ladder. The truth is he'd rather climb Maisie Dymond's father. That urge doesn't add up-Dom Dymond is his polar opposite-but when a near-miss brings them together, Austin discovers there's more below his laid-back surface, especially as Dom's determined to win the bid for the school's last rebuilding project. Working in proximity means Austin can't deny that they're opposites who don't only attract, they combust whenever they're close. Telling himself it's only a fling doesn't ring true when Dom opens up about what keeps him in Cornwall. He's there to heal his fractured family, and he wants Austin as part of it. That openness makes Austin want to share too, but will Dom still feel the same attraction once he knows what drives Austin to keep climbing his ladder? Contains mature themes.
