Overview

JESSE

Uprooting my life from my tiny coastal town on the southern edge of Australia to the dazzling endless sunshine of Southern California was meant to be simple. I had a job lined up at Zimmers surfboards and a room to stay with my bestie and his boyfriend. Simple.

Yet finding my feet in a foreign country whilst simultaneously dealing with why I was so, shall we say, stimulated by the nightly acoustics from my loved up roomies was something I wasn’t prepared for.

Which might explain why I can’t seem to take my eyes off the sexy, smooth talking barista who makes my morning coffees just the way I like them and who sets my pulse racing.

Angel is unlike any guy I have ever met and I am quickly addicted to more than just the daily shot of caffeine. But a love like ours never could run as smooth as Angel’s espressos, especially with my chaotic family and a much-loved baby brother who needs me now more than ever.

Never Giving You Up lures you into a world of love, self-discovery and confusing Aussie slang, a tale low on angst but high on sweetness with one rather adorable (and maybe a little innocent) Australian and a smooth-talking charmer who leaves one young customer a little tongue tied. Contains tender M/M moments that will steal your heart away and never give it back.
