The Paper Boys

In the cutthroat world of British political journalism, rivals Sunny Miller and Ludo Boche are about to discover that the biggest scoop of their careers might just be love. Sunny, a working-class reporter at the trashy tabloid The Bulletin, dreams of writing hard-hitting stories that change the world. Ludo, a privileged musical theatre fanatic turned journalist at the prestigious Sentinel, can’t seem to enter a room without causing chaos. When an unexpected scoop lands in their laps at the same time, thrusting them into a web of political intrigue, these arch-nemeses find themselves reluctantly working together—and fighting an unexpected attraction. From the bustling newsrooms of London to a questionable hotel on a remote Scottish island, Sunny and Ludo navigate class differences, family expectations, and their own prejudices. As they uncover corruption and confront their feelings, they’ll learn that the story of a lifetime might just be their own. Filled with razor-sharp wit, laugh-out-loud moments, and a cast of unforgettable characters, The Paper Boys is a heartwarming tale of rivalry, romance, and the power of love to bridge any divide. Perfect for fans of British humour and queer romance, this debut novel delivers a story as timely as tomorrow’s headlines and as timeless as love itself. The Paper Boys is a gay romantic comedy ideal for fans of Red, White and Royal Blue and Boyfriend Material.
