The thermometer reads ten degrees. My furnace is dead. And the only source of heat is my massive, straight neighbor who just broke down my door. I returned to Pine Creek to escape the soul-crushing grind of New York City, not to freeze to death in my parents' empty house. I didn’t expect a rescue party, and I certainly didn’t expect Caleb. He used to be the boy next door who taught me how to throw a baseball. Now? He’s thirty-two, built like a lumberjack, and looks at me with a hunger that has nothing to do with brotherly affection. I’ve been in love with him for a decade. But Caleb is straight. Divorced, rugged, and 100% off-limits. Until a blizzard traps us in his cabin. Until he dries me off and warms me up. Until he looks at me and decides that he’s done pretending. Caleb doesn't just want to keep me warm. He wants to take care of me. He wants to own me. And he has a very specific, very hands-on way of making sure I never get on that bus back to the city. He says I’m a restoration project. He says he’s going to strip away the city grit until he finds the real me underneath. I have a return ticket for December 26th. But with the snow piling up and Caleb’s rough hands claiming every inch of me, I’m starting to realize the only place I belong is right here. Under him. Unwrapping Holiday is a high-heat, bi-awakening MM romance featuring a possessive contractor, a burnt-out city boy, and a snowstorm that changes everything. Expect size difference, praise kink, light D/s themes, and a guaranteed Happily Ever After.
