Loving the Architect
An unexpected inheritance brought us together, but can love bridge the gap between us?
Maria
Inheriting my grandparents' Yorkshire property was supposed to be a blessing, but it felt more like a burden. At just twenty, I was overwhelmed by grief and the responsibility of restoring a house lost to time and fields tangled in weeds.
Enter Lars, a Danish architect with a quiet strength and a way of seeing beyond the chaos to the beauty I dreamed of creating. Twice my age, with Viking good looks and a calm that steadied my soul, he was everything I needed, yet everything I told myself I couldn’t have.
Lars
I came to England for a job, not to lose my heart. But Maria, fierce, vibrant, and brimming with untamed dreams, shattered the walls I’d built around myself.
As we worked side by side, the lines between architect and client blurred, and I found myself drawn to her more each day. Yet, with a lifetime of regrets and a past I’ve never fully escaped, I couldn’t help but wonder. Could we truly build something lasting, or was I destined to leave her behind?
TROPES: Forced proximity, age gap, opposites attract, second chances, healing
Loving the Gardener
Can a nature-loving guy with a dad-bod find his soulmate and happily ever after with his beautiful, wealthy, and ambitious neighbour?
Brooke
I seemed to have it all, beauty, success, a fancy sports car, and my dream house in the luxurious Riverbrook Close. My PR company was thriving, with glitzy awards and high-end clients to prove it. Life looked perfect, on the outside. But deep down, I knew something was missing. I didn’t just want someone to come home to, I needed it.
Marcus
Losing my job should’ve been a disaster, but it turned into the best thing that ever happened to me. Trading desk work for dirt under my nails, I built a business I loved, working with plants instead of people. Life was good, but it wasn’t complete. What I wanted, what I needed, was someone to share it with.
When Brooke and I first met, it wasn’t exactly a picture-perfect moment. A crunch of metal, broken glass, and some harsh words weren’t the greatest start, but could a geeky gardener and a social butterfly really find a way to make it work?
TROPES: Opposites attract, enemies to lovers, dad-bod, forced proximity
Loving the Banker
Can a beautiful, ambitious detective find her soul mate and happy-ever-after with her handsome, globe-trotting neighbour?
Serena
I’m a senior detective, and although work is super stressful, I love my job. I was engaged, but then got dumped the day before my wedding, by the man who has just announced his secretary is expecting his baby. With no spare time to even go on a first date, maybe I now need to look at other ways to have the family I crave.
George
As a successful trouble-shooter in the high pressure world of finance I’m constantly on the road. That global travel and a jet-set lifestyle cost me my last relationship. I know I was at fault for the breakup and heartache. Maybe I’m just not cut out for family life, but I’m bored of a life spent in hotel suites, no matter how fancy they are. In between work trips around the world, I’ve bought my dream house in Riverbrook Close. Somewhere I can finally settle and live a happy family life. Now I just need to find the woman of my dreams to share it with.
Can George and Serena move past their previous heartbreak and find love? Will they both be able to put their careers on hold long enough to let someone into their busy lives, and find their happy-ever-after?
TROPES: Instalove, second chances, inter-racial, healing, finding family
Loving the Writer
An ex-pro athlete, a wheelchair-using writer, and an unexpected love story that proves everyone deserves a second chance at love.
Matty
Too tall, too strong, and the worse, too masculine. I heard it all before turning pro as an athlete and achieving greatness. But retirement hit hard, leaving me lost.
No more travelling, no more competing, no more purpose. I need a fresh start, a new dream, and maybe to find what I always wanted. Simple, really, I want a family of my own.
JJ
One moment of devastation took everything from me, my family, my mobility, and my hope. I had it all, then I lost it, but I rebuilt myself, first as a para-athlete and later as a bestselling author. I’ve overcome so much. But I’m still alone, and I don’t want to be. Deep down, I long for love, for connection, for family.
Two competitive souls. Two lonely hearts. Can they find their way to each other? With their defences up and walls high, it’s going to take more than courage. It’ll take trust, vulnerability, and a leap of faith to let love in.
TROPES: Wheelchair romance, second chances, friends-to-lovers, instalove, retired athletes, found family

Christmas at Riverbrook
A blizzard, a spark, and a holiday to remember. City girl meets rugged woodsman for a snowed in seasonal steamy sweet romance.
Holly
I never planned to leave the hustle and bustle of London for a quiet Christmas in Riverbrook Close. But here I am, reluctantly trading city lights for snowy streets and family chaos. The last thing I expected was a blizzard to derail my carefully laid plans. Now I’m stuck in a neighbour’s house, with no power, no wi-fi, and a dangerously attractive rugged Scottish woodsman.
Joe
When Holly stumbled into my life on those designer heels, I wasn’t looking for anything, especially not love. But there’s something about her feisty independence and sparkling eyes. Snowed in together, we go from playful board games to intimate conversations. Every time she looks at me, I want to convince her to stay, to forget the life she’s chasing back in London.
I’ve never wanted anything more than I want Holly. She’s the spark I didn’t know I was missing. But how can I ask her to take a chance on me when we’ve only just met?
Holly
The snow and ice piled up outside, but my heart began to thaw. Joe’s strength, kindness, and the way he looks at me like I’m the only woman in the world, it’s all too tempting. But what happens when the snow melts, and reality sets in? I have a successful career waiting for me in London and besides, who believes in love after two short days anyway?
TROPES: Cosy, instalove, heartwarming Christmas, opposites attract, forced proximity
Loving the Soldier
A beautiful ex-army mechanic, a hunky ex-military close protection officer, and a love story that proves everyone deserves a happy ever after.
Darcie
My injury forced early retirement from my dream job. The perfect storm arrived when I inherited a fancy, if neglected, house from someone I’d never met. Intending to clean it up, sell it, and run away to lick my wounds, I arrived in Riverbrook Close. Then my plan derailed.
Ben
My work is, or was, my life, but burn-out is common in my line of work. Too many near misses and clients who expect too much, but give too little. On a long-deserved break to think about my options, I ran into, of all people, little Darcie Love. OK, so she hated it when I called her that, but we had a thing. Not a love thing, but a best friends thing. Not even with benefits. We just clicked, got on, had a laugh together.
She needs a sidekick to help with the renovation project. He needs somewhere to get his head down and think about his future. Can Darcie and Ben work together to fix more than just the plumbing and broken fences?
TROPES: Friends-to-lovers, instalove, military, found family, forced proximity
