It's been four years since I saw my best friend's sister. Back then, I wasn't ready for forever—and Autumn wanted one thing: a bun in the oven. Now, I'm home from the Marines and am ready to give her everything she craves. I'm hungry as hell and it's time for our second helping at love. When I join her family for Thanksgiving dinner, she wasn't expecting me to be there. And she comes with a date. I missed out on giving her what she wanted last time—I won't make the same mistake twice. I'm not leaving this holiday without giving her my baby gravy. She knows she wants it: thick and creamy and finger lickin' good. The season's about gratitude, right? Well, I'll give my girl a reason to thank God I'm back in town. Dear Reader, I saved the juiciest piece for you! This one is deliciously insane and a little more punny than you're used to. Don't worry, this lil' story will make that drive to your in-laws as sweet as candied yams and sexier than basting that bird! XO, frankie
