L.R. Weltmann

While trying to fulfill his dream of being a published author, Isaac works at a bookshop and tries to heal from the broken heart that his ex left him with.

Sean is a supermodel working for his famous father. After being saved from a mugger, Sean asks his freckled angel out on a date. Being caught by paparazzi, Sean’s father forces his son to date Isaac for the publicity, in return for his freedom after the Autumn Fashion Show.

Isaac struggles with the attention, and Sean’s guilt at using him threatens to tear them apart.

“I’m…kind of in a contract, with my dad. But he's willing to end the contract early, so for the first time I’m actually able to think of what else I want to do with my life.”

Isaac nodded. “That’s exciting and terrifying.”

It would be better with Isaac at his side, Sean thought, but once he was free, he didn’t know if he’d be able to look Isaac in the eye.

Bookworms and Runways

	Isaac checked his phone for the fifth time in two minutes, only to find the same lack of new messages that had been there all day. 


	He listed sideways on the couch. Beck sat at the kitchen table, editing his latest batch of photos. “Are you sure Sean actually wants to see me?” He’d texted Sean that morning about meeting up for lunch or dinner, and it was now mid-afternoon with no response. 


	“Positive. He’s probably busy with the show. It’s only two weeks away.”


	Isaac sighed and checked his phone again. “He hasn’t asked to meet since the shelter. That was a week ago.”


	“Oh my god,” Beck groaned, shoving his face in his hands. “You didn’t even want to see him until the other day!”


	“I know! And he’s turned down every chance I’ve given him since you told me to go for it!” Just in case Sean really did return Isaac’s feelings, Isaac wanted to give him the chance to say it.
