When it rains, it pours. And right now, it's a freaking monsoon. Bjorn: ​ After my parents' deaths, I devoted myself to raising my younger siblings.

Maybe the universe is finally cutting me a break. ​​ Xander: ​ I live to fill eager students' minds with the wonder of Austen, Shelley, and the Bronte sisters.

Our fleeting but passionate relationship burns in my memory like the glowing embers of Manderley. When he almost gets himself killed, it's my sign to reconnect. As expected, there's still a spark between us. What's unexpected is the imminently fascinating Kaino Nieminen and my inconvenient attraction to them. ​​ Kaino: ​ Making personal connections is a challenge. I'm no introvert, but I need time to really get to know someone, to trust them, before they're a friend. It takes even longer for anything romantic to develop, and most people aren't that patient. ​ Only one person has cared to try. And when Bjorn almost dies it's the shove I need to seek him out. Before I know it, I'm in his hospital room, and the instant reconnection has me eager to give things one more try. Then Xander Neilsen walks in and throws a wrench into my plan. ​ Complete Me is a low-angst, MMX, opposites attract, second chance contemporary LGBTQ+ romance about unexpected connections, being more than two halves of a whole, and finding the perfect fit, even if it's not quite as expected.
