Summary
Zayn’s got three things going for him: a decent sketching hand, a rent-controlled flat, and a totally manageable crush on his new flatmate. His ridiculously hot, unfairly kind, physiotherapist flatmate.
He’s absolutely not spiralling. Or jealous. Or thinking about Liam’s hands at 2am.
Everything is fine. (Definitely. Probably. Maybe.)

Summary
Zayn Malik is there to save lives, not fall for one.
Corporal Liam Payne is fearless, reckless, and annoyingly charming—with more near-death stories than sense.
Their connection is slow, sharp, and impossible. And the closer they get, the more they stand to lose.
Because in the middle of a war, love is collateral.
And no one walks away unscathed.

Summary
Liam and Zayn were inseparable growing up in the small town of Coldwater—best mates who shared everything. But when Zayn realised his feelings for Liam were so much more than friendship, he made the only choice he could think of: he left. At eighteen, he packed his bags and moved to London, desperate to outrun the love that had begun to consume him.
A decade later, with his writing career struggling and his savings running dry, Zayn is forced to return to Coldwater. What he doesn't expect is for the feelings he buried so long ago to come rushing back the moment he sees Liam again.
Liam has spent his years building a life that looks perfect on the outside. Engaged. Settled. Content. But Zayn’s return brings everything crashing down, forcing him to confront feelings he’s buried for years—feelings he never let himself acknowledge.
As they find themselves drawn together, old wounds resurface, secrets are revealed, and they’re left with a choice: to walk away from each other forever, or to finally embrace the love that’s been waiting for them all along.

Summary
Liam just wants to get through his last summer working at Malik Resort before University without incident. Of course, life is never that easy, and he ends up getting roped into giving the bosses son, Zayn, swimming lessons. That wouldn't be so bad, if Zayn didn't happen to hate him so much.

Summary
Zayn hasn’t been camping in years. Twelve years, to be exact. He’s had his reasons for avoiding the lakeside resort his family used to visit every summer, but with some perspective and his sassy companion of a dog, giving it a go again and facing all that comes with it can’t be all bad…
This has been Liam’s happy place for years; since the very first visit it felt different than all of the other lake vacations his family had bounced around to. Now, having quietly accepted his recent divorce, he wonders if this place will feel the same…
But the last thing either of them expected was to see the other here.
