Summary
“We don’t talk to strangers, love. It’s dangerous.”
“But Harry was nice,” she said, her voice quiet, timid, as she looked down at her hands which reached out to grab a hold of Louis’ jumper. “He helped me get the ice cream.”
“I don’t care how nice he was, I don’t care what he did. You do not talk to strangers, and you certainly do not run away from me at the shops.”
“I’m sorry. I just wanted the ice cream.”
***
Louis wasn't sure how he'd never met Harry before. They had more mutual friends than Louis could name, he worked with Harry's sister, they'd even gone to the same uni. But they'd never met. Louis definitely would have remembered him.
An unfortunate first encounter at the supermarket sets them off on the wrong foot.
And suddenly Harry is everywhere.
Between weddings and babies, meddling friends and a seven year old, Harry and Louis suddenly have a lot of time to spend together.

Summary
Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles are fashion stylists at the top of their game—and the bottom of each other’s patience. Louis is loud, messy, and allergic to authority. Harry is disciplined, poised, and inconveniently gorgeous. As rival stylists at Modern Edge—the fashion magazine everyone wants to work for and no one survives for long—their job is to stay out of each other’s way.
Unfortunately, their boss has other plans.
Forced to collaborate on the most important project of the year, Harry and Louis find themselves caught between deadlines, aesthetic clashes, and unresolved tension that neither of them wants to name. What starts as a creative standoff turns into something far more complicated—and the lines between rivalry, friendship, and something else entirely start to blur.
A slow-burn workplace romance about clashing styles, creative chaos, and two idiots trying very hard not to fall in love.

Summary
Every month, Full Moon Dreaming reveals a person’s soulmate. Sometimes it’s an object or a place, or for the lucky ones, the love of their life.
Louis has given up hope of dreaming of a person, resigned to living a life devoid of that kind of all-consuming love for another and receiving the same in return.
But when a new neighbour descends on Louis’ beloved Hanson Bay and moves into the other beach house, could all that be about to change?

Summary
“Harry…” Louis’ voice catches in his throat, thick with tears threatening to fall out, so he coughs to clear it before trying again. “Harry is Liam’s best man?”
“You didn’t know?”
Harry is standing at the entrance of the garage, mouth slightly open and face pulled together. He sets his bag on the ground and puts his hands on his hips. When he does that, he looks just like the Harry that Louis remembers (and loves, he thinks with an aching heart).
“I’m sure I mentioned it,” Liam says, but Louis can tell he’s lying by the way he chews on his lower lip and twists his fingers together.
“You’re all a bunch of dick heads, I’m getting in the car.” Louis isn’t sure if he’s being unreasonable. He has no idea what the protocol is when your ex-boyfriend shows up after three years and nobody bothered to give you a heads up. He’s pretty sure he’s allowed to be upset about it, even if it’s only for a bit.

Summary
This second, this minute, this hour, this day... hell, this week the trend was for Harry to feel overwhelmed. He was having a hard time not drowning in all of the responsibilities he had heaped upon himself and it had exhausted him. Beyond that, really. He had gotten to the point where he didn't even remember why he used to be so focused on getting back on stage every night.
Fine. Maybe this trend had been going on for even longer than a week. It might have even been months.
Harry is getting dangerously close to his breaking point, and that is when things start to change, starting with a favorite childhood sweet a member of the touring crew leaves for him in his dressing room.
