A Desk For Two
She booked a quiet desk. He booked the same one. Now they have a month to share it — and not fall for each other. A warm, witty romantic comedy about forced proximity, clashing habits, unexpected chemistry, and falling for the one person guaranteed to disrupt your perfectly organised life.
Too Loud To Ignore
She’s there to measure the noise. He’s trying to save the venue. Falling for each other is definitely not part of the plan. A warm, witty romantic comedy about rules and chaos, live music and late-night chemistry, and falling for the one person who could derail all your carefully laid plans.
(Pretend) You’re Mine
She needed a quick lie. He gave her a boyfriend. A warm, witty fake-dating romcom set in Manchester, with pub gossip, second-chance tension, bruised pride, old feelings and one pretend relationship that starts feeling very real.
Write Me In
One struggling bookshop. Four chaotic weeks. Sadie wants order, coffee and a schedule that actually works. Tristan wants standards, control and no unnecessary chaos. But four weeks of packed book events, mutual irritation and inconvenient chemistry might rewrite both their plans.
Fit To Fall
One injured player. Two clashing experts. One professional line they should not cross. Nina wants precision, and patience. Declan wants movement, belief and his athlete back on the pitch. But when they stop arguing long enough to work together, they discover they might be a dangerously good team.
The Detour Amendment
Layla has a wedding disaster to fix and no time to waste. Owen only meant to help for a minute. But shared umbrellas, city-centre delays and one ridiculous detour make walking away much harder than either of them expected.
The Encore Mix-Up
Two switched phones. One mistake neither of them wants to fix. Iris likes order. Max likes keeping life simple. But one ridiculous phone mix-up after a night at Riffs turns into effortless messages, unexpected honesty and the kind of chemistry neither of them can neatly hand back.
Read Between The Lines
When speech therapist Chloe Rain and reserved Sam Wells are forced to share a seat at a Manchester bookshop event, one scribbled joke turns into book swaps, charged silences and a note-passing romance that might be brave enough to leave the page.
Play It Forward
Two weeks to save a music fundraiser and an ex she never planned to face again. Tara knows how to make people care. Ben knows the venue, the musicians and the cause. But with two weeks working together and a history neither of them can ignore, keeping things professional might be the hardest part of all.
Signed, Sealed, Smitten
Aisha thrives on order and control. Finn sees straight through both. But after lost legal documents and a spectacularly awkward first encounter throw them together, their worst morning might become the start of something unexpectedly right.
Worth The Wait
When reluctant speed-daters Liz Heathfield and Joe Reeves are paired at a Manchester fundraiser, one simple conversation turns into a month of texts, pub nights and quiet chemistry neither of them expected to find.
