1. Putting Down Roots: Can love bloom in a neglected garden in this small-town romance?
Jackson
My plan to start over had been a simple one. I’d fill the van with fuel and put down roots wherever I was when it ran dry. I was running away—from my ex-wife, my ex-boss, and my ex-life—and excited for a fresh start. What could be better than opening a plant nursery with no one I know around to bother me? But even the most open-ended plans can fall apart, something I learn when my van breaks down in a place called Larchdown. The longer I’m forced to stay in the strange village, the more it gets under my skin. When I meet the beautiful but troubled new owner of Larchdown House, my life gets a lot more complicated.
Luca
My art career is on the rocks after a spiteful review from my art critic ex-lover. Amid the scandal, I can’t bring myself to leave my apartment or even think about picking up a paintbrush. Needing to escape my life in London and dismal new reality for a while, I head to the country home I’ve inherited from my great-aunt. After meeting the gorgeous gardener who’s been ‘borrowing’ the grounds for his plants, I might have found a reason to stay and perhaps find my muse again. Except the guy is straight… isn’t he?
2. Bridging The Gap: What happens when you don’t know you’re missing something until he shows up on your farm?
Cole
Contrary to what my brother thinks, I like my life the way it is. I enjoy my job, my animals, and having my family close. I’ve never felt the need to find someone before, so why he thinks I’m missing out and need love now, I don’t know. But, it’s when he recruits Johan to help at my family’s farm that I start to wonder if maybe my brother was right after all. As I learn more about Johan and we discover things we have in common, he quickly becomes the first person to ever make me want more.
Johan
When I escaped to England, hoping to forget about my cheating ex, I gave myself one rule: no dating. With my time in the charming town of Larchdown Valley limited, starting something with someone would be silly. I manage to stick to my self-imposed exile… right up until I lay eyes on Cole. All is not lost, however, as the gorgeous, smart-as-hell vet doesn’t seem to have any interest in me—or anyone else, either. I realise my mistake when we work together to nurse a dog back to health—I’ve fallen for him. But, with my return to Sweden imminent, it’s too late… isn’t it?
3. Carving Out A Future: Thirty years can make strangers of the best of friends.
Duncan
Twenty years ago, the pain of having my ex-wife take my kids away from me was so overwhelming that I had to flee to the other side of the planet just so I could breathe.
When I find out that my youngest son is getting married, I know it’s time to mend some fences, reopen old wounds, and get my family back.
What I didn’t expect was to run into my former best friend, and I certainly wasn’t prepared for the hatred he so clearly has for me. I’d hoped we could rebuild our friendship, but it feels like we take one step forward and two steps back with every conversation we have. I know he feels something for me, so why is he still pushing me away?
Harlen
Love and hate are extreme emotions. I’ve experienced both in my life… for the same person. Feelings that he didn’t know I had. I had to carve a cage around my heart just so I could breathe.
When I see my former best friend at his son’s wedding, I do the only thing I can, the only thing I’ve ever been good at, and run to the solitude of my fortress in the woods; the cabin and workshop I built from the ground up.
What I didn’t expect was for him to chase me, and I certainly didn’t expect to still feel this deep, pure love for him. So why, when I should tell him how I feel, do I spew mean, cruel words at him instead? Why am I pushing him away when all I want is to pull him closer?
3.5. Brewing Up Love: Can a beer festival be a catalyst for love?
Blaine
Used to living a playboy lifestyle, I’m forced by my father to make something of myself or be cut off by the family. Hung over and with only thoughts of the captivating brewer I met the last night, I rashly decide on brewing as a career. The trouble is Robin wants nothing to do with me.
Robin
My first impression of Blaine is not a favourable one and despite being attracted to him, I fear that I will be nothing more than a conquest. For five years I’ve kept Blaine at arm’s length but when he finally confronts me, not even the cool air of a beer cellar can stop the flames igniting.
Brewing up Love is a sweet but steamy short MM Romance Ishort story in the Larchdown Valley Series set in a British village and can be enjoyed as a standalone.
