Real love is nothing like the movies.

'Outrageously fun ... beautifully human' NICOLAS DIDOMIZIO

'You'll be hard-pressed to find a better romance novel' BUZZFEED

'Funny and romantic and hot as hell' SOPHIE IRWIN

'A total delight' CAT SEBASTIAN

'One of those everything books: you laugh, you cry' NEW YORK TIMES

BIRMINGHAM, Present Day.

When American actor Patrick arrives in England, finding love is the last thing on his mind. Starring in a blockbuster superhero movie, he's on a strict filming schedule, which does not include coming out as gay. But when Patrick meets Will - a local bookseller and drag performer, whose charm is impossible to resist - the temptation for a secret romance has never felt stronger.

NEW YORK, 1949.

Comic-book artists Charles and Iris aren't like other married couples. They too are harbouring secrets of a dangerous nature. But together, they are creating a new kind of hero - one who is destined to bring Patrick and Will together... and might just change the world.
