The Fete of Summer: A Small Town Romantic Comedy

FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF LGBTQIA ROMANCE BRIAN LANCASTER

Book one in the Tales of Crumbington series

Some ideas are not as half-baked as they may first appear.

Nathan Fresher wishes he could have his old life back.

Born in the sleepy rural village of Crumbington, where nothing ever happens, Nathan planned to graduate from university and travel the world. But when his father died suddenly, he felt obligated to take over the running of the family baker’s shop. This also meant inheriting his position on the summer fete committee, an easy enough task when they rolled out the same tired event year after year.

Everything changes in January when the new and ambitious chairperson announces plans to reinvigorate this year’s event. Among other things, she proposes promoting the village by creating a naked calendar featuring the local football team. She has also snagged Clifton O'Keefe, a famous Hollywood actor and former resident of Crumbington, to open the event.

Both announcements shock Nathan out of his complacency. As captain of the team, Nathan will need to convince his teammates to get their kit off for a photoshoot. Not only that, but Clifton O'Keefe had been Nathan's boyfriend back in high school, a secret he had only ever shared with his close friend, Polly. To make matters worse, her visiting cousin, Jaymes, keeps barging in with his unsolicited and often unhelpful assistance.

As one problem after another starts to accumulate, it doesn’t take long for Nathan to realise that you can hide from the world, but sometimes the world might come looking for you.
