From bestselling author Alexis Hall comes a trio of charmingly funny LGBTQIA+ romances about “our favorite chaos demon & stern brunch daddy” (Talia Hibbert, NYT bestselling author of The Brown Sisters) discovering life, love, and everything that comes with happily ever after.
Boyfriend Material
When tangentially—and reluctantly—famous Luc O’Donell is forced back into the spotlight in the worst possible way, he has to think fast if he wants to save his floundering reputation. Enter Oliver Blackwood. Stunningly handsome and effortlessly put together, Oliver is exactly what Luc needs to appear respectable again. But when their fake relationship starts to feel like real romance, they might have to consider if they’re willing to fight for the truth…scandal, and consequences, be damned.
Husband Material
Luc and Oliver may have found happiness together, but that doesn’t mean it’s all smooth sailing from here. Faced with friends getting married everywhere they look, Luc feels the social pressure to propose. But as they survive four weddings and a funeral, Luc and Oliver will have to come to grips with what their own happy ending was truly meant to be.
Father Material
Luc and Oliver have done it all: fake dated, dated-for-real-this-time, (almost) gotten married, and now they’re ready for that next big step. But what does it mean to be a father…especially when you’re still figuring out how to truly be yourself?

for Husband Material
Husband Material is, above all else, terrifically funny. Not just tonally upbeat in the way of many so-called rom-coms, but text-your-friends, chortle-til-you-cry funny.
