Summary

What do a shy French-horn-playing accountant and a single dad trans trumpet player have in common other than both being members of the community orchestra at Theatr Fach in the little town of Llanbaruc?
Gethin's been more or less hiding from life since his marriage broke up a couple of years ago. He joined the orchestra because his sister told him he needed a hobby rather than sitting at home brooding about his divorce. 
Martin is careful who he dates because of his gender and his teenage daughter. He came to Llanbaruc as a stage manager for the Theatr Fach twelve years ago. He has a good set of friends here. Shannon's a good kid. They're a team. 
Martin and Gethin hit it off. Will their mutual baggage prove too much to sustain a relationship?
Available since: 11/19/2022.

    ote to self: When your friends and family tell you not to drink away your sorrows, you should probably listen. 
 
Too little. Too late. 
 
Three-and-a-half months after catching my ex-fiancé cheating—and spiraling straight into a drunken, ill-advised one-night stand in a bathroom stall with my best friend—I’ve officially reached burnout. The weight of the world is crushing my chest, and I can barely remember what genuine happiness even feels like. 
 
So naturally, I chose the most reasonable solution. 
 
Run away to Dad’s ranch in Whiskey Creek, with the hope that I can remember who I was before my life imploded. 
 
The problem? 
 
My dad invited my best friend, Lenny, too. 
 
The bigger problem? 
 
There’s only one room. One bed. 
 
And apparently, between my father’s matchmaking tendencies and Lenny’s stupidly charming grin, they’ve already decided they know exactly how to coax the sunshine out of me again. 
 
Whether I’m ready for it or not.

After barely surviving a terrifying stalker, Kip is reexamining his life choices. There’s nothing like almost dying to make you take stock of things.

When Kip is asked out on a romantic sunset cruise by one of Pearl Cove’s most eligible bachelors, he decides he has nothing to lose. Unless he wants to spend the rest of his days alone, he needs to be proactive about finding love. 
But when Kip shows up for the cruise, instead of champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries, he finds his date dead.
