Kane Ramirez has one goal in life: Get through the day. Every day.

Being diagnosed with clinical depression at age nine wasn’t easy, but with the help of his ex-wife (who also happens to be his business partner) he tries hard to focus on the good things in life. The whimsical bookstore he owns, the adorable coastal town it lives in, and the dog he didn’t want, but now can’t live without.

Even though life is looking up for Kane, he still feels down. So when he gets the opportunity to host a release party for his favorite queer romance author, Kane feels as though its his only chance at happiness. Unbeknownst to Kane, he’s actually met his favorite author before. In fact, he’s even dated him.

Marcus Fraund lives behind his pen name, Carsen V. Lovett. Not because he’s ashamed of who he really is, but because he hates the past that’s associated with it. Reading his passionate and erotic queer books, you’d think he’s always been proud of his identity, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. At forty-three years old, Marcus is still hung up on the man he left behind twenty years ago, all because he was afraid to love freely.

What starts as an uncomfortable reunion turns into a weekend of emotional nostalgia for Kane and Marcus. As the pair reenact the summer they spent together so long ago, they realize that love doesn’t have to be linear, so long as it’s well written.

Cameron Miller hates change. It makes her sweaty, tongue-tied, or worse- silent. Her anxiety doesn't help, leaving her expecting disaster around every corner. And finding out that her almost one-night stand is her new boss only confirms her fears.

Violet Wolfe isn't looking for love. In fact, due to her impending divorce, she plans to stay far, far away from it. Luckily, love, and a close encounter in a bar bathroom, don't bear many similarities. But when the woman from last night turns up as her work's newbie, Violet realizes she's accidentally violated her boss' #1 rule: No dating colleagues.

The chemistry between them is undeniable, sure, but it's just a physical attraction- or so they tell themselves. Yet as they start to consider breaking workplace policy, as well as the boundaries they've set for themselves, they start to wonder if it really is just “puppy love”, or if something larger is pulling them together.
