Material World- 10 Things That Never Happened

"Brilliance on every single page."—CHRISTINA LAUREN, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, for Boyfriend Material

What if one impulsive lie gave you the second chance you never knew you needed?

From USA Today bestseller Alexis Hall, 10 Things That Never Happened is a laugh-out-loud, slow-burn queer rom-com brimming with British wit, workplace tension, and unexpected heart.

Sam Becker’s job isn’t glamorous, but the quirky team he manages feels like home. Even his boss, the cold and calculating Jonathan Forest, has become a part of his strange little routine. Then comes a clumsy accident, a panicked lie about amnesia, and one very guilty billionaire whose icy exterior starts to thaw.

Jonathan shows up with soup, softness, and something dangerously close to care. As Sam fakes forgetfulness to keep the peace, their chemistry becomes impossible to ignore. But a relationship built on a lie can only last so long and Sam’s running out of time to tell the truth.

A delightfully fun spinoff to the bestselling London Calling series, this witty, emotionally layered romance delivers on the tension of enemies-to-lovers, the comfort of found family, and the quiet thrill of discovering someone might actually see you.
