Daring a snowstorm might not be the smartest thing Aiden Evans has ever done, but he can’t stand being in his flat a moment longer. With only three days to Christmas, he doesn’t want to be alone. He wants a place to belong, wants people around him who won’t look down on him. He might not find that at his mother’s place, but it’s better than being alone in the city. If he can make it there, that is. Tristan Gardner is looking forward to a quiet night in front of the TV, but instead, he has to save an idiot in designer clothes from freezing to death in his forest. Tristan tries not to notice the man’s good looks, just like he has tried not to notice any man’s good looks for the last seven years. He knows where relationships go and is far better off living alone, with his dog, in his cabin. Aiden is driving Tristan mad with his bratty comments and irresponsible ways, and Aiden is going crazy from Tristan’s judgmental attitude. Luckily, in a few days, the weather will clear up, and the two men won’t have to be together any longer. But will a few steamy nights with the grumpy lumberjack change Aiden’s mind about wanting to leave? And will Tristan still want to go back to his peaceful, predictable life without fear of getting his heart broken? Contains the stories “Once in a Snowstorm,” “The Empty Egg,” “Happy Endings,” and “Just Words.”

Aiden and Tristan

He jumped and slammed the drawer shut with a bang, setting the lamp wobbling. It was about to topple, but Tristan was faster than him and reached out to catch it.


&ldquo;Now, do you want to talk, or do you want to open that drawer again and take out the lube for me?&rdquo; Tristan held up the condom for him to see.


Aiden hardly dared look Tristan in the eye. He would&rsquo;ve been pissed off if someone had gone through his drawer, but Tristan seemed slightly amused by it.


&ldquo;Sorry, it&rsquo;s just…Why don&rsquo;t you have any condoms?&rdquo;


&ldquo;Talk? Really, you want to talk?&rdquo; Tristan reached down and stroked that thick, veiny cock of his, and Aiden&rsquo;s mouth dropped open.


So hot. Big and hairy all over. Aiden&rsquo;s cock sprang to life, and a hot wave rolled over him as he watched Tristan reach down to fondle his heavy balls, tipping his head backwards and groaning as he tugged a little.
