Summary: One of them has a plan. The other is clueless. Together they will discover what love really is about. Guarded and studious, sixteen-year-old aspiring actor Zak favours being alone above all else… except perhaps Alberto, the Italian god from Drama Club, with whom he’s secretly in love. When their drama teacher takes the club to the French countryside to shoot a short film, Zak decides to temporarily hang his introvert hat and joins the party, confident Alberto will be cast as his love interest. Only… by accident or by mistake, the beloved — and most likely overrated — star football player Eric is chosen to play Alberto’s part. As time goes by, stuck in the middle of nowhere with the most popular boy at school, Zak quickly sees his opinion of Eric shift from sworn enemy to endearing new friend; and soon enough, his feelings for him threaten to grow into something far more dangerous. A story about friendship, self-awareness and the dangers of appearances, You're The One for Me is the second instalment in the Colette International series, where students from an international high school in Paris navigate their tumultuous love lives. Each of the Colette books can be read as standalones, apart from He Looks So Fine Part One and Two. Warning: this novel is 170 000 words long. It's a slow burn of a summer romance, written for readers who enjoy slice of life entertainment with plenty of dialogue.

Summary: Dating is complicated for a fox shifter on the demisexual spectrum. In fact, Tim has kind of given up on it. He devotes himself to his hobbies—books (and arguments about them) and running a forum for his favorite TV show. When an interesting new neighbor moves in, he wonders if something might eventually develop between them. That question is quickly dashed when his best friend instead falls for the man. Tim resigns himself to the usual—being forgotten about by his friends because of dating and sex. Ross, his neighbor's friend, shows up angry that he's been forgotten, too. Tim and Ross strike up a conversation. Wolf and fox shifters don't tend to get along very well, but these two have an easy chemistry from the beginning. Ross needs a fake date for his ex's wedding, and Tim offers to go with him. Why not? It sounds fun. What starts off as a small favor gradually becomes friendship. Could it grow to more? m/m romance - demisexual shifter romance - fake-dating to real dating Heat level: sweet

Summary: Zac Mulligan is a former Marine now providing personal security for the infamous rock band, Black Ice. Seeing all the guys around him in committed relationships reminds him of his childhood best friend . . . the only person Zac has never managed to get out of his head or his heart. Ben Holland is an artist. Falling deeply in love with his best friend in his teens, Ben is left alone when Zac leaves him for the military. Ben heads off to college and lives his life “out and proud” as a gay man and creates a brand name for himself with his artwork. Throughout all the years that pass, Ben never forgets his childhood friend, Zac, or the feelings they once shared. Zac realizes a decade is too long for Ben not to have a presence in his life and finds Ben living on Cape Cod where they spent their summers as kids. Meeting each other as adults stirs up a lot of memories for both of them. Zac is looking for a mulligan, a “do over,” with his childhood best friend. The question is: Can Ben find a way to put aside his old hurts and fully open his heart to Zac for a second time? Or maybe the past is something better left buried on the beach where it all began.

Summary: Every man has a limit. Jack is about to reach his. Jack Horwood should be content. His job keeps him busy and renovating his home keeps him entertained. So why does he feel as if something important is missing from his life and he’s just wasting time? Discontent sharpens his attention, and between losing one mentor and watching the other struggle with prejudice and racism, Jack doesn’t like what he sees. Walking away is not an option, but neither can he carry on as he has. It is Rio, whose conduct gives Jack an idea, and his ladder-climbing partner, Tom Gatting, who makes him realise what is important to him. After that, it’s just a question of making a choice. Because when he hits his limit, there’s only two directions Jack can go. Zero Rising traces the origins of Jack Horwood, the main character of my Power of Zero series. Both series are available from my store, all retailers, Kobo Plus, and libraries. Also available as part of a bundle. Please check my store for additional links.
