He’s all garlands and grit. His co-owner? Guns, ghosts, and zero patience for glitter.
When decorator Vey Castillo inherits half of the Rust Canyon Roadhouse from his late great-aunt Lupe, he expects dusty countertops and questionable holiday decor. What he doesn’t expect is Slag Donovan—a gruff ex–motorcycle club member with a haunted past and no interest in playing Christmas cheerleader.
To keep the inheritance, Vey and Slag must work together for thirty days to turn the rundown roadhouse into a winter getaway. As sparks fly (and not just from faulty wiring), their clashing personalities give way to late-night repairs, reluctant laughter, and a connection neither of them saw coming.
But peace doesn’t last long. Marcus, Vey’s controlling ex, shows up uninvited. And Raze Kellerman, Slag’s old gang leader, wants his enforcer back. With found-family allies like young Jake and tough-as-nails neighbor Cora, Vey and Slag must decide whether to run from their pasts—or fight for the future they’re building, one stubborn nail and peppermint-scented pinecone at a time.
A heartwarming grumpy/sunshine M/M holiday romance about second chances, found family, and choosing love when running would be easier.
Genre: Gay Romance
