Description

Wanted — One (very real) husband, nowhere near perfect but desperately trying his best.

Two years ago, Luc O'Donnell and Oliver Blackwood met, pretended to fall in love, fell in love for real, dealt with heartbreak and disappointment, family and friends... and somehow figured out a way to make it all work.

Now it seems like everyone around them is getting married, and Luc's feeling the social pressure to propose. That's what you do when you love someone this desperately, right? But it'll take more than four weddings, a funeral, and a hotly contested rainbow balloon arch to get this semi-disgraced son of former rock stars and his tightly-buttoned-up boyfriend from "I don't know what I'm doing" to 'I do'.

Good thing Oliver is such perfect Husband Material.
