The first rule of journalism: never date another journalist. Especially not your infuriating, posh, distractingly handsome rival.

Former council estate kid Sunny Miller dreamed of hard-hitting journalism. Instead, he's stuck at Britain's trashiest tabloid, where all his exposés are given comedy headlines. Ludo Boche has the career Sunny wants — at the prestigious Sentinel, where his father happens to be editor. Charming, chaotic and born with every advantage, he's everything Sunny can't stand.

Then one explosive political scandal lands in both their laps, and Fleet Street's bitterest rivals are forced to work together — from Westminster's corridors of power to one very questionable hotel on a remote Scottish island. Scooping each other is fair game. Falling for each other would be a catastrophe.

Inside this book you'll find:

• Enemies to lovers (rival newspapers, one story)
• Class war: council estate vs nepo baby
• Forced proximity (in a remarkable B&B)
• A found family of gloriously nosy friends
• Very British humour and headlines that should be considered criminal.

Good to know:

• Closed-door romance (all the chemistry, no explicit scenes),
• Dual point of view
• A guaranteed happily ever after (because journalists deserve nice things too, occasionally)

Perfect for readers who loved Red, White & Royal Blue and Boyfriend Material and want something even more British.
The Paper Boys is Book 1 of the Brent Boys series. Every book stands alone; the laughs are cumulative.
There is also a FREE Brent Boys novella, The Silly Season, available at dpclarence.com.

See why readers love The Paper Boys:

“This was a riot. I loved both guys, I loved being introduced to the world of Brit journalism. The whole thing was a hoot. Found myself laughing out loud in fairly embarrassing places.” Author Chase Taylor Hackett on Goodreads

“This was INSANELY CUTE.” Goodreads reviewer

“This book made me very happy. It should become with the warning not to read in the public place though. I laughed out loud so many times that I can't count. Please, please, don't miss out on this one! It was like a ray of sunshine on my dark days and I'll be forever grateful for that.” Goodreads reviewer

“The Paper Boys is a must-read. Intelligent, delightfully gay, and fervently British. Sunny and Ludo are easy to fall in love with because they are passionate, relatable, and entirely flawed.” Goodreads reviewer

“The Paper Boys is sweet, clever and laugh-out-loud funny. If you like your rom-coms sweet, sassy, and really funny, with a large dollop of political shenanigans, you’ll love this.” Goodreads reviewer

“This book had the newsroom rivalry and instant chemistry of Cat Sebastian’s We Could Be So Good combined with the tea-snorting British hilarity of Alexis Hall’s Boyfriend Material, with a side of the political shenanigans of Jax Calder’s The Unlikely Heir. All of my favourite books rolled into one perfectly unique, incredibly British and impeccably written novel.” Goodreads reviewer
