What to expect

A rom-com perfect for fans of Casey McQuiston's The Pairing!

'Such a beautiful and gentle romance. Recommended for any lover of sweet yet spicy mm romances' Reader review

Could they be a perfect pairing?

Julien Boire can’t wait to get out of his small town. Soon he’ll be leaving to take an advanced wine course that will put him on track to become a master sommelier. He can’t let anything distract him, especially the hot new hire at his aunt and uncle’s restaurant.

It should be easy – Julien and TikTok mixologist Greg Harlow could not be more different. One thing they do have in common: neither wants a relationship. They agree to a no-strings sex pact. Nothing is off-limits. Except a future.

It’s exactly how Julien wants it. Except for the little part of him that wonders if maybe he’s about to lose the kind of happy that could last much longer than an hour…

Perfect for fans of:
