Tis the season for a hopeless crush on my older brother’s best friend…
This year will be different. I’m all grown up, my gaming channel is a huge success, and I finally have the confidence to make my move on Atlas Orion, the hottest chief in the navy.
However, I don’t intend for my smooth move to be covering Atlas in cranberry sauce. Not at all how I want to reintroduce myself to my new roomie and coworker. Atlas is in town to help save Seasons, my family’s historic holiday gift shop and event space. Seasons is booked solid with catered parties, so we need to avoid any more disasters.
Like my malfunctioning air mattress. We’re down to one bed, two dudes, and a whole lot of holiday-fling temptation. Atlas has never been with a guy, but I don’t have to do much persuading. And what better way to explore than a secret romp? No strings, and no one has to know.
The problem? With every passing week, I fall harder for Atlas, who’s far more than his drool-worthy muscles and heroic job. He’s kind, funny, makes me breakfast in bed, and each midnight snowball fight brings us that much closer to heartbreak.
Atlas can’t stay in Kringle’s Crossing forever, and I can’t imagine leaving the only place I’ve called home. Our feelings run deep, but is it a holiday illusion? Can we find our way to a lasting future?
CATERED ALL THE WAY is a brand-new, full-length holiday romance from the beloved author of THE GEEK WHO SAVED CHRISTMAS. Lovers of stand-alone swoon-worthy Christmas stories will fall for this geek + military pairing. Full of spicy first times, bisexual awakening, quirky small-town residents, and guest appearances from some fan-favorite characters, this only one bed, brother’s best friend romance is sure to find a place under many trees! Dual POV and the happiest of endings guaranteed.
This is a sweet and sexy holiday story about friendship, family, home, and finding a connection when least expected.
Zeb Seasons is a professional gaming streamer and part-time worker at his family's gift shop and event space. He is a nerdy, gagy guy, who has had a crush on his brother's best friend for over a decade.
Atlas Orion is in Navy SEAL support and has not come home much in recent years for his own reasons. He has been focused on his career but is glad to be taking leave over the holidays. He has limited experience in dating and hs always assumed he was straight. But that does not explain why he is starting to think Zeb looks good and appealing in an unexpected way.
Zeb is more than willing to help Atlas explore this new attraction between them for a bit of holiday jollies. These two have great chemistry along with a strong connection, appreciation, and understanding of the other. But they also are dealing with a time limit, fears, insecurities, and fear of broken hearts and a very uncertain future.
This is a heartfelt and hot, small age gap, brother's-best-friend, friends-to-lovers, only one bed, forced proximity, sex lessons, holiday secret fling. It is about finding a true home and fighting for what you want. There are added complications with family, jobs, and distance. But if they are willing to be brave and think outside the box, they might be able to find a way to embrace a different and happier future. These guys just made me smile and swoon and the cameos and family love just made it even sweeter.
