Pol Rubio, a young philosophy graduate, isn't feeling his best lately. And he usually is. Working at a dead-end job and living an unfulfilling life was not what he had envisioned his life to be. Until one night, when he recalls a previous failed relationship with Bruno Bergeron, who disappeared from his life years ago. This sends him on an impulsive and reckless journey to Rome, Italy, in the hopes of finding Bruno. And in the process, maybe get a little adventure out of it.
Manuel Ferro has run away from home. After the death of his mentor, he feels lost, unable to come to terms with this new reality. He's in survival mode, numbing himself by drinking and getting into fights, anything to drown out his sadness and grief. When a mundane incident at work causes his and Pol's paths to cross, much to his reluctance, he gets pulled into the search for Bruno.
But, with a massive city to work in, little to no leads, and a language barrier, will the unlikely pair be successful?
Finding You. is an exciting and chaotic story set in the streets of Rome. It's about life and how it leads us to the most unexpected places. It's a story filled to the brim with romance, laughter, and heart.

Larry Sandoval was at his wit's end, miserable, unhappy, feeling like an animal trapped, living in a gilded cage, desperate to leave his troubled marriage when one night, quite by chance, after he finally gets the courage to leave his husband, he meets the man of his dreams in Laurent Bourgeois.
Laurent is everything Larry's husband is not, and on the night they meet, he and Laurent connect in a way neither saw coming, shaking them both to their core. Initially, Laurent saw Larry and was captivated by him. He wanted him. But Larry was only supposed to be a one-night "encounter", just a means to scratch a sexual itch.

To Laurent's surprise, Larry becomes an unexpected piece of a puzzle in his covert mission to uncover a corrupt UN Diplomat leading a clandestine double life. But for Larry, seeing Laurent again is a welcome answer to a prayer, his ticket to a life he'd only dreamed about.
But will it be? Will Larry and Laurent get what they're both seeking? Will theirs be a happy...or tragic ending? Read ahead to find out, and follow their journey from start to finish. ❤️❤️
