Summary

Ben Carlson's life was already in the shitter, and that was before his sister's ex-boyfriend Conner Jaxon moved in next door. Home for the summer after dropping out of Seabreeze State, Ben is stuck doing dog sitting duty while his mom is touring Napa Valley with her latest beau of the month.
Conner is rehabbing the rundown cottage next to Ben's in order to flip it, but after a costly mishap with the water heater makes Connor question his technical skills, he hires a crew to do the work for him. The decision leaves Conner with plenty of time to pester poor Ben, who does his best to avoid the guy who broke his sister's heart. Or did he? When a runaway pooch sets the two on a rescue mission to find it, Ben learns Conner's not so bad after all.
But there's still the past to consider, long-buried feelings to confront, and when a secret confession leads to a smoldering kiss, the only thing that can stand in the way of a sizzling summer love story are a few simple rules. Rule Number One? There are no rules in love!

    Scott Riley has lived his whole life in the Town of Sunridge but spent most of his childhood certain that the first thing he would do when he got old enough was leave. That was until Sid's Tavern came up for sale, though. With a little bit of money and a lot of hard work, he is confident that he will be able to refresh the bar and add a little bit of life to the town. He also knows that's going to be hard to do all alone. So, when a slightly disheveled but desperate and willing to work young man shows up asking for a job, it seems as though fate has intervened.
    
    
    Lee Warner brings a dark past with him, but he's sober, hungry, and willing to try just about anything if it will bring him a sense of purpose and renew his energy. Walking into that tavern was meant to be nothing more than a chance for opportunity, but that was before Lee got a good look at Scott. With hair the color of a sunset and a nervous energy to match it, Scott is revitalizing Lee in ways Lee never expected.
    
    
    That seems to be contagious energy, however, and as Scott is as straight as they come, he can't understand why Lee is awakening feelings in him. Or how to turn those feelings off.

    DRAXTON: 
    Have you ever looked for something you know is there but can't find it? 
    I was born to explore caves, and when it comes to finding the door to another reality, I become a tire-screeching, hyper-focused maniac. 
    When I use my charm, I know no one can refuse me, especially when I'm wearing my sexy jean shorts and wide-brimmed hat, even if I pair them with flip-flops. 
    I will do anything to secure an extension to explore the Star Caves, nestled in the Cradle of Mankind, South Africa. 
    With my grandfather's map in hand, I set out to barter for more time.  
    The plan was simple. Entice, seduce, and bribe the man responsible for my future. He accepted the bribe, my priceless map, but as soon as he started showing up at the site, he refused my body, three times!

    A heartwarming and witty MM queer romantic comedy, perfect for fans of M.A. Wardell and Chip Pons.Love wasn't in the job description. 
    Kallen Jeffries has reached a few milestones before turning twenty-seven: stable writing job, a few friends who've turned into found family, and a place to live where he can be himself. What he didn't expect this year, however, was for his handsome new neighbour, Dan, to become his new coworker. And now, he's not just living next to the man – he has to sit next to him in the office every day. 
    Dan Byers has just moved to Brisbane from Melbourne for a fresh start in a content writing job at Untold Media. The position seems like the perfect fit, but with one major problem: he can't stop thinking about his new coworker, Kallen. Not wanting to complicate things at work with a silly crush, Dan does everything in his power to forget about it. 
    Kallen, on the other hand, is intimidated by Dan's impressive resume and starts seeing Dan as competition for a new position opening up in the office, something Kallen desperately wants. However, as Kallen and Dan work together, their one-sided rivalry soon softens into mutual respect, then something more. 
    But workplace romance is strictly banned in the office. Will Kallen and Dan risk their jobs for a shot at something real? 
    'Delightfully sweet, swoony, and spicy, Side by Side overflows with heart. Between the joys of found family, cackle-worthy banter, decadent emotion, and the satisfyingly slow burn romance, Clayden-Lewis has crafted a book readers won't soon forget!' —Julian Winters, USA Today bestselling author of Last First Kiss 
    ‘Jordan Clayden-Lewis delivers everything I want in a romcom! Soft, swoony and quietly devastating in the best way, Side by Side is a love story about showing up—for yourself and for the person beside you. I devoured this!’ —Chip Pons, author of Winging It with You
