A Western state of mind

Stocking Stuffers 2

By

These stories promise you a special and sparkling Christmas romance in every event— from workaholics faced with real-life truths, Christmas grumps who need to embrace seasonal joy, office high jinks that lead to a more rewarding connection, physical crises faced and conquered with love, and families seeking sincere, seasonal reconciliation. We believe every man deserves his share of seasonal promise, and every couple their happily ever after. Five best-selling authors bring you their own style of loving, all set in this season of fun, hope, and love!

In Pop-Ups by Clare London, Jack's high-powered life leaves no time for anything except a casual friendship-with-benefits with his neighbour and IT expert Henry. Just before Christmas, Jack is alone at home with just his volatile PC, and Henry apparently on his way to a Christmas holiday hideaway. And that's when, to Jack's horror, the pop-ups start appearing.

In A Good Thing by Julia Talbot, Dan hates the season since the accident that ruined his holiday three years ago. Meeting Chris on the street, full of holiday cheer, with the Santa hat, the hot chocolate, and the relentless good will toward his fellow man, may just change Dan’s mind.

In Season’s Greetings by Chrissy Munder, Russ, greeting cards writer and general playboy, is way behind on his big Easter Card project. Is it because ever since new guy Ian was hired, Russ spends all his time writing bad Valentine rhymes to Ian's best asset? Will someone prompt real seasonal romance, or will Russ forever be a man out of season?

In Oranges and Peppermints by B. A. Tortuga, Jeremiah has special plans for his lover for Christmas, but the Texan weather is against them. Jeremiah is determined to meet the train to bring Charles the happiest holiday possible, but when he isn't back where he belongs in good time, Charles fights the storm to bring him back. Can oranges and peppermints make the season bright for this frozen pair?

In Unto Us the Time has Come by Sean Michael, Kenn and Chris are struggling through a separation neither of them wants, but their pride dictates. To say nothing of the pain it’s causing their kids. Armed with the realization he should change and begin to repair their relationship, Chris takes steps to win his husband back. He just hopes he can get Kenn on the same page before Santa comes down the chimney on Christmas Eve.

Miguel is convinced he and River weren’t the fated mates he thought they were, so when his best friend asks him to go back to Lobo Canyon, New Mexico, he knows it’s a really bad idea. Why set himself up to see River again, and to go through all that pain and weirdness again? Wulf is desperate not to be the only banished one at his niece’s christening, though, and Miguel finally, grudgingly, goes along.

All of his fine plans to stay away from the man go out the window then, and River decides he has to figure out how to win Miguel back. Even if the pack doesn’t seem particularly helpful, between the constant interruptions and the visiting family making his job harder.

What’s worse is that Miguel seems to be accident prone now. Until River realizes what’s going on is no accident. Someone is targeting Miguel with violence, and they have to figure out who it is, and how their love can possibly work out, all at the same time.

The Long Road Home

By

Jefferson Austin Bonham, or Ty to his few friends, is perfectly content with his life. He has a decent business, a flamboyant male assistant, and a sterile, stripped down apartment. Ty has built himself the kind of life people have always envisioned for him, pushing down his teenage desire to become an artist. He thinks it suits him, has convinced himself that's what he wants. That he has all he needs. It works just fine until a blast from the past breezes in his door, wanting to hire him as an image consultant.

Abe is all bad boy, just like he was back in college, needling Ty until he's ready to kiss the man or kill him, one of the two. They fight as hard as they did when they were boys together, but the attraction between them is just as strong as the animosity. Together they start to rebuild Abe's image, renovate old buildings, and realize that sometimes what people expect them to be is not what they want in life.
