Coda

Zach Mitchell is stuck in a rut. His college boyfriend left him ten years ago, but Zach still lives in the same apartment, drives the same car, and feeds his ex-boyfriend's ungrateful cat. His Denver business, A to Z Video Rental, is struggling. He has annoying customers, eccentric neighbors, and an un-fulfilling romance with his landlord, Tom.A combat-boot-wearing punk with an attitude, Angelo Green was raised in foster homes and has been on his own since he was sixteen; he's never learned to trust or to love. He doesn't do relationships, so when he takes a job at A to Z Video, he decides Zach is strictly off-limits.Despite their differences, Zach and Angelo quickly become friends, and when Zach's break-up with Tom puts his business on the line, it's Angelo who comes up with a solution. Together with Jared and Matt, their friends from Coda, Colorado, Zach and Angelo will find a way to save A to Z, but will they be able to save each other too?

Zach and Angelo are headed to Paris, along with Matt and Jared, to attend Jon and Cole's wedding. Matt will have to face Jared's former lover, and Angelo will have to spend an entire week with Zach's ex. Between Matt's jealousy and Angelo's temper, Zach figures they'll be lucky to get through the week without one of the grooms being punched.But Zach soon realizes he should worry less about Angelo and more about himself. Facing the bittersweet memories of his past and his own guilt over breaking Jon's heart is harder than expected, but Zach will have to find a way to leave his past behind if he's to have any hope of the future he wants with Angelo.Sequel to The Letter ZPlease note that although Paris A to Z is ostensibly about Jon and Cole's wedding, the book isn't about them. It's Zach and Angelo's book (hence the "A to Z" in the title). If you read it expecting it to be all about Jon and Cole, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. The conclusion to Jon and Cole's story can be found in Fear, Hope, and Bread Pudding.

Families should grow, not shrink. It's been on Jon's mind since before he tied the knot with his millionaire lover, Cole. Now hoping to adopt, Jon and Cole search for a mother-to-be willing to let them love her baby. The interminable wait is already unbearable, and when Jon's well-intentioned father invites Cole's estranged mother to spend Christmas with them in Munich, the results are disastrous.Jon and Cole resolve to stay positive, but no hope exists without a tinge of fear. They can't help but wonder if their dream of being parents just wasn't meant to be.Sequel to Strawberries for Dessert
