One of them has a plan. The other is clueless. Together they will discover what love really is about.Guarded and studious, sixteen-year-old aspiring actor Zak favours being alone above all else... except perhaps Alberto, the Italian god from Drama Club, with whom he's secretly in love.When their drama teacher takes the club to the French countryside to shoot a short film, Zak decides to temporarily hang his introvert hat and joins the party, confident Alberto will be cast as his love interest.Only... by accident or by mistake, the beloved - and most likely overrated - star football player Eric is chosen to play Alberto's part. But that's never going to work! Zak hates everything about Eric. For starters, he's not Alberto. Besides, he's a straight jock, an impossible flirt who takes nothing seriously, and especially not Zak's attempts to keep him at a distance.If he wants to be seen as the professional actor he always claimed to be, and still get the chance to impress Alberto, Zak must set aside his resentment and put up with Eric and his boisterous ways, at least until filming is over.But as time goes by, stuck in the middle of nowhere with the most popular boy at school, Zak quickly sees his opinion of Eric shift from sworn enemy to endearing new friend. Soon enough, his feelings for him threaten to grow into something far more dangerous.His inexperienced heart only a small kiss away from shattering, Zak will have to ask himself the right questions and undergo significant changes if he hopes to obtain true love at last.A story about friendship, self-awareness and the dangers of appearances, You're The One for Me is the second instalment in the Colette International Series, where students from an international high school in Paris navigate their tumultuous love lives. Though it isn't necessary to have read the first volume beforehand, it's still recommended to get the full reading experience. With a total of 170 000 words, this novel is a long slow burn of a romance and might not be suitable for everyone.

But Mathias already knows life is never that easy.And now he's in the thralls of an unfeeling demon.------------------------He Looks So Fine is a seven-part story about two young men's rediscovery of empowerment, communication and trust, about the lasting damages of trauma and the healing virtues of friendship. Part One is 360 pages long and contains arcs 1 to 3 pertaining to Alberto and Mathias's journey. The upcoming Part Two is longer; it contains arcs 4 to 7 and concludes their story.As it features several characters from the previous books, it's usually recommended to read the series from the start. However, the tone of this story is darker and more mature and differs from the rest of the series. As a result, this book can also be enjoyed as a standalone.Content Warning: Due to the presence of difficult themes, sexual content and other potentially upsetting scenes, this work isn't intended for readers below the age of eighteen. (A full content warning list can be found at the beginning of the book.)

Louis thought he had it all figured out. He couldn't have been more wrong.If you ask Louis, he's a rock star.Just the right amount of sarcastic, cute, and only slightly delusional. He attends the best high school - in Paris no less - has the coolest best friend and the fiercest girlfriend, and he's absolutely, a hundred per cent straight. So no, Michael, the new British student, with his dark curls and sweet smiles, doesn't interest him whatsoever. And when a teacher pairs the two to write an essay together and Louis gets all worked up about it, he can always tell himself he doesn't have a choice.Slowly and inevitably, the two of them become friends, and perhaps a little more. Soon, Michael's presence in Louis's life makes him question everything: his lifestyle, his friendships, and whether he actually ever liked girls.I Want To Kiss You In Public is a story about friendship, self-love, truth and heartbreak, sprinkled with over-the-top comedy, suitable for fans of Skam, Skins, and Sex Education.Please check out the content warnings before reading. The Colette International characters act like teens in many ways, including the unsavory ones; such as cussing, drinking, and making mistakes. Influenced by Japanese Boys' Love stories, the series are also unapologetically cartoonish at times.
