    Summary

    Nick unlocks the back gate and readies his machete. He approaches the figure very carefully.
    The figure raises its arm towards Nick, and instinctively, he raises his machete and prepares to strike.
    “Help me,” the figure croaks.
    Nick stops dead in his tracks, machete still above his head.
    “Oh, my god,” he says. He lowers the machete and approaches the stranger carefully. “Who are you?”
    “My name… my name’s Ch-Charlie,” the man rasps through a strained voice. “Please help me!”

    Or, Nick and Charlie fall in love during the zombie apocalypse.

    Summary

    Nick Nelson is twenty-six and a rising semi-professional rugby player in London, admired for both his skill and his looks. But when a devastating injury pulls him off the field and into a hospital bed for months of recovery, Nick is forced to confront a world that suddenly feels very small and frighteningly quiet.

    Assigned as his primary nurse, Charlie Spring is calm, kind, and quietly observant. A young man more comfortable in hospital corridors than stadium crowds. Determined to stay professional, Charlie focuses on helping Nick heal, even as small moments of laughter, vulnerability, and shared silence begin to blur the lines between patient and caregiver.

    As Nick struggles with pressure from his distant father, the loss of his identity as an athlete, and the unexpected pull toward someone he was never supposed to fall for, Charlie must balance duty with feelings he isn’t sure he’s allowed to have.

    A slow-burn romance about healing, patience, and finding connection in the most unexpected place.
