10 Things That Never Happened

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

From Alexis Hall's breakout Boyfriend Material expanded universe comes a hilarious LGBTQIA+ romcom about identity, mistaken first impressions, and a serious case of (faux) amnesia.

"Brilliance on every single page." - CHRISTINA LAUREN, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, for Boyfriend Material

FAKE AMNESIA. REAL FEELINGS? REAL PROBLEMS.

Sam Becker lovesβ€”or, okay, likesβ€”his job. Sure, managing a bed and bath retailer isn't exactly glamorous, but it's good work and he gets on well with the band of misfits who keep the store running. He could see himself being content here for the long haul. Too bad, then, that the owner is an infuriating git.

Jonathan Forest should never have hired Sam. It was a sentimental decision, and Jonathan didn't get where he is by following his heart. Determined to set things right, Jonathan orders Sam down to London for a difficult talk...only for a panicking Sam to trip, bump his head, and maybe accidentally imply he doesn't remember anything?

Faking amnesia seemed like a good idea when Sam was afraid he was getting sacked, but now he has to deal with the reality of Jonathan's guiltβ€”as well as the unsettling fact that his surly boss might have a softer side to him. There's an unexpected freedom in getting a second shot at a first impression...but as Sam and Jonathan grow closer, can Sam really bring himself to tell the truth, or will their future be built entirely on one impulsive lie?

"The apotheosis of the rom-com." - Entertainment Weekly, A+ Review, for Boyfriend Material

"Delicious, ridiculous, and often poignant." - Talia Hibbert, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, for Husband Material

"Every once in a while you read a book that you want to SCREAM FROM ROOFTOPS about. I'm screaming, people!" - Sonali Dev, award-winning author, for Boyfriend Material
