Six women have been murdered, and Michael is nowhere near knowing who killed them. But he is certain the barman Spyros is involved in some way. If only he can stop thinking with the wrong brain whenever he’s around the man.<br><br>Spyros wishes he wasn’t sexually attracted to the police officer who arrested him for murder. The feeling builds whenever they’re around each other.<br><br>After they’re snowed in at the Derbyshire Dales building, the men find themselves together more than they should. Spyros has no idea if this is a blessing in disguise for him, while Michael toys with the idea of giving in to his attraction is worth it. One’s a suspect; the other’s the law.

Snowed In: Michael and Spyros

“He ruled us with an iron hand. What he said, we had to follow. He didn’t like the fact I preferred men over women, or that I had a different ambition. It wasn’t his dream for me, so it wasn’t happening. By the time I was twenty-four, my family weren’t speaking to me and I was doing menial jobs, anything so I wasn’t under Dad’s thumb. I had spent a couple of weekends in the Peak District while I was at university, so I moved here. It wasn’t difficult to get a job at Level 2.”


Michael was silent. Then he reached out and touched Spyros’ knee.


“I’m sorry, Spyros,” he murmured. “I had no idea.”


“You really didn’t dig very far, did you?” Spyros snorted. “Nice police work, Michael.”


“Fuck off.” Michael shook his head. “Your family‘s fucked up.”


“I know.” Spyros could feel the heat from Michael’s fingers on his skin. It was trickling up his thigh towards his groin. He swallowed. “What about your family? Do they care that you’re gay?”
