Karl Brandt has spent two years holding his family together — running the family ski shack, easing his mother through his father's decline, standing in as a second parent for his young nephew — and keeping his own heart carefully closed for business ever since his last boyfriend walked out without so much as a goodbye. Theo West has spent his whole adult life being the sunniest person in the room, cracking jokes and quoting dead languages, so no one ever asks what happened to make him that way. Six weeks of forced proximity, one broken no-romance rule, and a Christmas Eve blizzard later, one of them is finally going to have to talk — and the other is going to have to listen. A Ski Shack Christmas is a warm, laugh-out-loud M/M holiday romance for readers who love their grumpy/sunshine with a mortifying meet-cute and their snowed-in Christmas Eve with real grief underneath. If you like the banter of Winging It and the found-family ache of In a Holidaze, you'll love this story of guarded hearts, hard-won trust, and a hug that starts everything.
