Overview

COLE
All I wanted to do was take my grandma to the crafts festival. Instead, I accidentally save someone’s life and end up on the front page of the Spruce Press.

That’s not all. The person whose life I save happens to be my childhood crush Noah Reed.

I’m hardly an example of perfection. But now they’re organizing a pageant featuring the town’s hottest bachelors and I’m number one on the list.

But I’m not interested in any other guys. I’m seeing the bigger picture — with Noah.

And I’d better find a way to tell him soon before this whole thing gets out of hand.

NOAH
Feelings were never my thing. I don’t understand them. Even friendships are confusing to me. The world only makes sense from behind the camera lens, fitting everything into a perfect frame.

That frame shatters the second Cole Harding becomes my next project. And he wants me to cover his story.

I can’t make sense out of how I feel. Nor can I rationalize why the dashing, popular, and "beloved town treasure" Cole would want to spend so much time around an awkward and forgettable nobody like me.

I only write the headlines. I’m not supposed to become one.

✔️ M/M "secret romance"
✔️ Shy virgin & popular guy
✔️ Small-town
