Childhood sweethearts who grew up planning their lives together, infertility throws a spanner in the works. They have it all planned out: medical school, surprise wedding, and then conceiving on their Italian honeymoon. But sometimes even the best laid plans don't work out. Month after month, Emily's period arrives like clockwork, along with the disappointment of not being any closer to holding a baby in her arms. She has dreamt of a large family. An only child, adopted as a baby to parents who had experienced infertility themselves, she would choose motherhood over medicine any day of the week. For Boyd, the idea of giving children the idyllic childhood he experienced has been the dream. He wants cousins for his nieces. A big kid himself, he wants to dedicate his working life to sick kids and become a paediatrician. Kids are awesome. But why can't he make a baby with her? Will the pain and disappointment of infertility place a wedge in their relationship, or are they really meant to be always and forever?\ This book sits in the Hartman world, but can easily be read as a standalone. It features no cheating and a guaranteed HEA. It's written in first person dual point of view.

Love is in the air whenever Henry Hartman is around. Sure, he may have the occasional fling, but from a young age, he's been looking for The One. When Henry falls, he falls hard and fast, but then guys break it off because he's suffocating them. Perhaps it was a blessing that the sexy gentleman ran away after that kiss at his parents' Valentine's ball. Kandiah "Ken" Dissanayake moved across the continent to escape the unrealistic expectations of his fundamentalist parents. He's disappointed them already by studying medicine and not becoming an accountant like his father, let alone hinting that he's gay. For Ken, love is as foreign as his name, despite being third generation Australian. Memories of that kiss haunt him day and night, as well as the shame of running from it. It's been months, and Ken's never even bumped into the guy again, and Cassowary Point isn't that big. The shock on his face seeing Henry standing in his doorway announcing he's his new housemate is only surpassed by the mix-up that sees them making do with only one bed. What follows is a housemates with benefits arrangement. Henry won't fall for Ken, and Ken can explore his sexuality, not needing to be accepted by anyone other than himself. One bed, two guys looking for love. What could go wrong? This book sits in the Hartman world, but can be read as a standalone. It features no cheating and a guaranteed HEA. It's written in first person dual point of view.

For Bridget Blanchet, balance is a medical textbook in each hand. Determined to be the best doctor she can, and fighting to achieve what her mother couldn't, she has no time for friends or socialising, let alone a relationship. At twenty-three, she's never even been kissed. She'll just push that anxiety down and hope it goes away. The biggest anxiety in Giles Hartman's life is trying to make sure the women he meets understand he's a 'one-and-done' kind of guy. His parents have the perfect marriage, but that doesn't mean he ever will. He'll be happy being the fun uncle and eschew the responsibility he's always felt being the eldest of four. Thrown together throughout their medical degree, Bridget is convinced Giles is a mediocre white male, and, over the years, she has developed a hatred of him. However, outside classes, they are drawn together, and both start to wonder if perhaps the other might be onto something with Bridget's planning and dedication to study and Giles' carefree attitude. The initial disdain Bridget has for Giles soon melts as long-held beliefs are challenged, friendships are formed, and an unexpected sad event brings them closer. Their pasts may be a world apart, but is their future together? This first person, dual POV, enemies to lovers romance between two almost doctors is a slow burn, but it sizzles once guards are let down.
