Love never takes the easy route and maybe that’s the point.

In these three gay romantic comedies, wrong turns, mixed signals, and a dash of magic steer the way toward endings worth holding onto.

One story unfolds in a small-town café, where late-night pie runs and stolen glances turn two regulars into something more than strangers. Another follows a scatterbrained shifter whose secrets keep slipping out at the worst times until the crush he can’t stop tripping over proves stronger than he ever imagined. And in a crooked spin on fairytales, a modern man blunders into a land of talking animals, reluctant heroes, and stubborn curses, only to discover love tucked inside the absurdity.

Each tale is filled with warmth, wit, and romance that lingers like a smile after closing the book. When life goes hilariously sideways, can love still land right where it belongs?

If you enjoyed the charm and humor of this book’s stories, you’ll find even more in the Swipe, Stumble, Swoon series each volume brings three new romantic comedies full of mishaps, laughter, and happily-ever-afters.

Swipe, Stumble, Swoon is a playful collection of gay MM romantic comedies where every story blends laugh-out-loud chaos with soft, clean romance. These novellas highlight awkward starts, oddball friendships, and those tiny, surprising moments that turn a regular day into something more.

Each set of three brings new characters and fresh twists from mistaken identities across a crowded coffee shop to first dates that slide sideways in the best kind of way. Sometimes it’s a clumsy swipe on an app, sometimes it’s stumbling into the wrong conversation at exactly the right time.

Lighthearted and warm, these stories remind us that love doesn’t need perfect timing it just needs to show up.

Will you trip into it too?
