Side by Side - Jordan Clayden-Lewis

'Jordan Clayden-Lewis delivers everything I want in a romcom! Soft, swoony and quietly devastating in the best way, Side by Side is a love story about showing up-for yourself and for the person beside you. I devoured this!' -Chip Pons, author of Winging It with You

'From a simmering office romance to the importance of found family, Side by Side is a delicious queer romcom which should be on every romance lover's bookshelf. Clayden-Lewis delivers intricately crafted characters who you can't help but root for.' -Robyn Green, author of The Dramatic Life of Jonah Penrose

Kallen Jeffries has reached a few milestones before turning twenty-seven: stable writing job, a few friends who've turned into found family, and a place to live where he can be himself. What he didn't expect this year, however, was for his handsome new neighbour, Dan, to become his new coworker. And now, he's not just living next to the man - he has to sit next to him in the office every day.

Dan Byers has just moved to Brisbane from Melbourne for a fresh start in a content writing job at Untold Media. The position seems like the perfect fit, but with one major problem: he can't stop thinking about his new coworker, Kallen. Not wanting to complicate things at work with a silly crush, Dan does everything in his power to forget about it.

Kallen, on the other hand, is intimidated by Dan's impressive resume and starts seeing Dan as competition for a new position opening up in the office, something Kallen desperately wants. However, as Kallen and Dan work together, their one-sided rivalry soon softens into mutual respect, then something more.

But workplace romance is strictly banned in the office. Will Kallen and Dan risk their jobs for a shot at something real?
