    Summary

    Nick Nelson owns a coffee shop that just so happens to have a vacant apartment upstairs. He and his son, Finn, are finally living the peaceful life they deserve after years of tumultuous family drama.

    Charlie Spring and his daughter, Lennie, have just moved in with Charlie’s sister and her husband, Tori and Michael, hoping to finally find somewhere that feels like home.

    When Michael introduces Charlie to the owner of the coffee shop he’s started working at, Charlie finally starts to understand that home oftentimes looks less like a house with four walls, and more like a handsome dorky dad with a shy little boy just looking for a friend.

    Summary

    When Charlie Spring's dad gets relocated for work, Charlie and his siblings are forced to leave behind their lives in New York City and start over in a tiny town in South Carolina.

    Charlie hates it.

    He hates the heat, the smell, the lack of public transportation, the casual homophobia, and the fact that half the town seems emotionally invested in high school football.

    Then he meets Nick Nelson.

    Nick is a farm boy, a quarterback, and annoyingly nice. He's also funny, patient, ridiculously attractive, and somehow determined to drag Charlie through every small-town summer tradition imaginable.

    Charlie keeps telling himself they're just friends.

    Unfortunately, that becomes harder to believe with every passing day.

    Summary

    Continuing one year after Desperate ends- this is the story of Nick and Charlie navigating their relationship, the growing intensity of it, and the physical distance between them during Nick's first year at University of Leeds.

    *

    “Not without you. With you. Not physically with you, but you’re going to be part of it, Char. I swear. I want you to. I want to talk about this with you because I’m so excited to include you. I want you to visit and feel at home. I want you to have a drawer with clothes and a toothbrush and I can get you all your fancy hair stuff to keep at my place so you don’t even have to pack a bag. I can’t stop thinking about the fact that when you visit, we’ll have the room to ourselves the entire time. No one will interrupt, no parents will text, nothing. Just you and me and our own space. We can talk, we can have sex, we can maybe try new things…I can’t fucking wait.”
