Adam After breaking up with my abusive ex, I’m busy getting my life back on track. I have old friends to mend my relationship with, new friends to get to know, therapy sessions to attend, and a restaurant to run. There’s not much time for anything else. When my best friends invite me to their New Year’s Eve party, I might not be sure whether attending is a good idea or not, but in the end, I accept, wanting to make an effort to spend time with them. I can always leave early, can’t I? Corbyn New Year’s Eve is the day that changed my life forever five years ago. This year it’s supposed to mark a new beginning. And how better to celebrate than with my new friends? After all, they have a guest room I can escape to, if everything gets to be too much. So what’s the worst that could possibly happen? When two people both jaded and shaped by their pasts get thrown together by an unexpected blizzard, tentative bonds form. Will this new friendship last longer than a snowed in day? And has it the potential to transform into something… more? "Show Me How to Trust" is a hurt/comfort mm romance with approximately 71,000 words. It's the third book in the Juniper Creek series, but can be read as a standalone. Please check the front matter for content warnings.
Author

Ray Celar lives with her husband, daughter and two cats in Southern Germany. When she was six years old, she proudly declared she’d be an author one day, and that dream never changed. She was declared “most likely to ever publish a book” in her yearbook and only four years after her graduation, this statement and her lifelong dream came true—though she still isn’t sure whether she should send a copy of her books to the teacher who nominated her for that title. If she isn’t chasing after her daughter through the apartment, she’s probably translating books, writing books or procrastinating doing any of those things by watching too many DIY-videos online—she might even be working on one of the DIY-projects she picked up.
