Authentic Heart of Gay Romantic Fiction
The Fete of Summer
A Small Town Romantic Comedy
Tales of Crumbington Book 1
Nathan Fresher wishes he could have his old life back.
Born in the sleepy 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 bakery. This also meant inheriting his position on the summer fête committee, an easy enough task since they rolled out the same tired event each year.
​
Everything changes ten years later when a new chairperson announces plans to reinvigorate the event, 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 fête.
​
Both announcements shock Nathan awake. 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 had been Nathan’s boyfriend in high school, a secret Nathan had only ever shared with his close friend, Polly.
Fortunately, Polly’s cousin is visiting, environmentalist Jaymes Wynter, and without prompting, volunteers to chaperone Nathan to various events, which would be a tremendous help if Nathan didn't have to deal with the cousin's immature humour and annoying playfulness while he is trying to hold everything together.
As the day of the fête approaches, and Nathan faces one obstacle after another, he realises that even in the quietest of villages, life moves on and sometimes you just have to let go.
