When it rains, it pours. And right now, it’s a freaking monsoon. Bjorn: After my parents' deaths, I devoted myself to raising my younger siblings. It meant growing up fast, but I had to keep the family together. Romantic relationships weren’t a priority. It takes my near-death experience to re-prioritize yet again. I need to stop meddling in my siblings’ lives and focusing on me. Only, I’m not sure I remember how. Then Kaino Nieminen and Xander Neilsen walk out of my past and into my hospital room. Maybe the universe is finally cutting me a break. Xander: I live to fill eager students’ minds with the wonder of Austen, Shelley, and the Bronte sisters. I have no patience for unenthusiastic students, or issues letting them know. It doesn’t endear me to them. Or Deans in the English department. Or romantic partners. Except for Bjorn Osouf. Our fleeting but passionate relationship burns in my memory like the glowing embers of Manderley. When he almost gets himself killed, it’s my sign to reconnect. As expected, there’s still a spark between us. What’s unexpected is the imminently fascinating Kaino Nieminen and my inconvenient attraction to them. Kaino: Making personal connections is a challenge. I’m no introvert, but I need time to really get to know someone, to trust them, before they’re a friend. It takes even longer for anything romantic to develop, and most people aren’t that patient. Only one person has cared to try. And when Bjorn almost dies it’s the shove I need to seek him out. Before I know it, I’m in his hospital room, and the instant reconnection has me eager to give things one more try. Then Xander Neilsen walks in and throws a wrench into my plan. Complete Me is a low-angst, MMX, opposites attract, second chance contemporary LGBTQ+ romance about unexpected connections, being more than two halves of a whole, and finding the perfect fit, even if it’s not quite as expected.Zum Buch
Tears trickling down her cheeks, she recognises her grandmother’s writing scrawled across the manila envelope. Inside is an engraved key that sits heavy in her hand. Will the tumbledown cottage be the start of a new life – or will it tear her life apart? With her back to the sparkling sea, single mum Nessa stands in the doorway of the stone cottage her grandmother left behind. If she can just fix up the crumbling walls and make the empty hearth cosy again, it will be the perfect home for her little daughter Lily – and their only option if they want to stay in the village of Heaven’s Cove. But a rap on the door soon shatters her plans… Although Gabriel Gantwich has a smile on his handsome face, the papers he’s clutching say his father’s company owns the house.

As she and Gabriel clash over every detail, Nessa barely notices that even though they argue, their talks are fuelled by the same passion. And beneath his tough exterior, Gabriel appreciates the beauty of the sunset bathing the clifftop cottage in soft pink light as much as she does… But one stormy night, Nessa gets a desperate phone call about Lily. Forced to choose between her family’s past and her daughter’s future, will she end up losing everything?Zum Buch
