fantômes sont les prémices d'une incroyable histoire d'amour
susceptible de transcender tout ce que les deux hommes pensaient

What if youth wasn't wasted on the young? On the eve of his
fortieth birthday, Ian Parker is looking for a reboot. He may be
the proud owner of a trendy coffee shop in Austin called La Tazza
Magica, but his love life has been MIA for years. During a trip to
Denver with his best friend, Mark, Ian buys an enchanted chocolate
from a mysterious candy store—then wakes up from a nap two
decades younger. After the initial shock, Ian realizes a quirk of
the universe has given him a second chance and, with Mark's help,
he devises a plan to start over. With a new lease on life, Ian sets
his sights on handsome architect Bartley James, a regular customer
at La Tazza. He pursues Bartley as Ian's twenty-one-year-old alter
ego, Ryan, with decidedly unexpected results. Joining Ryan on his
adventures are Matthew, the dreamy new barista, Jeremy, the geeky
high-school math teacher, and Sam, the pizza delivery boy. Even as
misunderstandings and expectations collide, Ian remains determined
to right his past mistakes and find his off-ramp to happiness.
The Austin Trilogy: Book Three It's the summer of 1983, and Trent
Days is Major League Baseball's rookie sensation. Born in Alaska to
an Inupiat mother, the press have dubbed him the Eskimo Slugger,
but a midseason collision at home plate temporarily halts his
meteoric rise to the top. Sent back to Austin to recuperate, Trent
visits his favorite record store, Inner Sanctum, where he meets
amiable law student Brendan Baxter. A skip in the vinyl of New
Order's "Blue Monday" drives Trent back to Brendan, and their
romance takes them into uncharted territory. As Trent's feelings
move from casual to serious, he's faced with an impossible dilemma.
Does he abandon any hope of a future with Brendan and return to the
shadows and secrets of professional sports? Or does he embrace the
possibility of real love and leave baseball behind him forever? As
he struggles with his decision, Trent embarks on a journey of
self-discovery—to figure out who he really is and what matters
most.

unlock all the songs in his head, his band will soon be on the fast
track to obscurity. Then the South by Southwest music festival and
a broken-down car drop New York critic Stanton Porter into his
life. Stanton offers Topher a ticket to the Bruce Springsteen
concert, where a hesitant kiss and phantom vibrations from Topher's
cell phone kick off a love story that promises to transcend
ordinary possibility.

teenage brothers he barely knows. During the funeral, Ben meets
Travis Atwood, the redneck neighbor with a huge heart. Their

flirtatious, but when the weight of responsibility starts wearing
on Ben, he turns to Travis, and the pressure shapes their
friendship into something that feels a lot like love. Ben thinks
he's found a way to have his old life, his new life, and Travis
too, but love isn't always easy. Will he learn to recognize that
sometimes the worst thing imaginable can lead him to the place he
was meant to be?
