    Summary

    "What on earth is a jalopy?" Pez says, looking delighted and intrigued. "It sounds like some kind of jam tart."

    "It's just a term for a shitty car," Nora says helpfully, and Pez looks mildly put out for all of a millisecond before he perks up again.

    "Car trouble, eh? I know a chap."

    Summary

    Henry’s at a local Hispanic Heritage Month event browsing the art stalls when his gaze catches on a kid looking around with both purpose and nervousness. She’s fidgeting with the hem of her t-shirt with one hand while she bites the nails of the other one, eyes alert and searching. Lost, then.
    And oh, Henry recognises her. She’s a regular at his bookstore, even at only six years old, and is there at least weekly with her dad—Alex, who she’d introduced to Henry as her papi—or various aunties and uncles, most of whom Henry doesn’t think are actually related to her. Keeping one eye on her, he lets his gaze sweep the vicinity but doesn’t see anyone else he even remotely recognises. Shit. He has to do something.
    “Sirena?” he calls gently.


    Henry... is more than a bit useless around hot guys. So when he finds the lost kid of the gorgeous dad who frequents his bookstore, he pulls himself together until they reunite, only to then be devastated by the revelation that the man thinks Henry hates him. And, well... courage always rises, and all that.

    Summary

    Henry is forty-two and stuck in the same job he took at twenty-four. After a particularly ugly divorce, he’s also tremendously, depressingly single.

    Alex is forty-one, works 80 hours a week as partner in a law firm and hardly speaks to his son. He’s also happily, promiscuously single.

    They meet at a speed-dating event. Life happens.
