He takes an immediate interest in Micah and an even bigger interest in Jason.

Can they come to an understanding and give Micah a family again? Or will the drastic differences between them tear them apart? As the winter nights grow longer, Pete and Jason worry their love won’t be enough to chase the darkness away. World of Love: Stories of romance that span every corner of the globe.
