Scotty Williams is the nerdiest 17-year-old at Havensdale College - and proud of it. However being a nerd can have its downsides, particularly when you're constantly being targeted by the school bully Taylor Raven and his cronies. As Scotty tries to navigate his final college years with the aid of his best friend Olive, he also finds himself on the radar of the mysterious and intimidating Vincent Hunter, toughest guy in the Sixth Form. Is Vincent really as bad as he seems? Will Scotty's darkest secret ever be revealed? Can he ever just finish his last few college years in peace? But most importantly... will any guy ever find the reasons to love a nerd like him?

The sequel to the much-loved gay romance Reasons To Love A Nerd Like Me – a boy-meets-boy story full of yearning, emotional drama, small-town cosiness and one incredibly loveable found family.

Taylor Raven is starting over.

Leaving behind the wreckage of his past - and a father he can’t forgive - he escapes to the quiet village of Westerfield to train as a tennis coach... and disappear.

He wants solitude. Silence. A chance to stop hurting the people he cares about.

But then he finds The Apple Inn - a crumbling country pub brimming with warmth, eccentricity, and one very persistent family who won’t let him vanish.

Especially Benjamin Apple. Charming. Gentle. Unafraid of Taylor’s sharp edges.

As Taylor begins to open up, he also starts to pull away - afraid of what loving someone like Benjamin might cost. Because the hardest person to forgive... is always yourself.

- - -

Could You Love An Apple? is a heartfelt “slice of life” New Adult romance, with angst, quirky humour and light spice. Perfect for fans of Red, White & Royal Blue, Heartstopper and Carry On.

This 10th Anniversary Edition also includes the bonus mini-story: The Promo Video.
