    About this ebook

    There are worse things than being stranded in a blizzard.....

    Artist Trevor Morrison has always appreciated the little things in life, treating each day as a gift. And with good reason: he’s been on the transplant-recipient list for too long now. When he learns just how numbered his days truly are, he resolves not to take them for granted. But he won’t be unrealistic, either—which means romantic commitments are off the table.

    Marcus Roberts seems to have it all. He’s handsome, financially sound, and on the fast track to partnership at a prestigious law firm. In reality, though, his drive for success has meant no time for friends or relationships. Add in the fact that his family discarded him long ago, and he’s facing yet another holiday season alone.

    When the biggest snowstorm to hit Colorado in decades leaves Marc and Trevor stranded at the same hotel, a chance encounter and a night of passion leads to more than either of them expected. Finding comfort in each other is a welcome surprise, but time is not on their side. Either they find a way to beat the odds, or they lose each other forever.

      Artist Trevor Morrison longs for a connection with someone he knows he can't have. He's been waiting for a kidney transplant for years, and it looks like it's not going to come through. He knows that without one, he'll never be able to grow old with the man of his dreams. So why bother looking for him? Attorney Marcus Roberts has no room in his life for love. He's focused on becoming a partner at his firm as soon as possible--and then maybe he'll have time for a life. And since his last attempt at love went wrong, there's no need to risk muddying his world on the small chance things could go right. When a blizzard leaves Marcus stranded at a hotel near the airport on his way home from the office, there's a small joy in the fact that he won't be completely alone for the holiday--and a bit larger joy in his chance meeting of Trevor who is similarly stranded but without a room of his own. The two connect quickly and actually end up spending several days together before Trevor quietly disappears and flies home for his family Christmas. But for once, Marcus has found something, someone he wants enough to disrupt the vision of his perfect life and he's not willing to give in easy. Trevor refuses to make Marcus go through the process of losing him. In a battle of stubborn wills, it's hard to see just who might win out.

      I'd describe this as charming. These two meet and fall hard, especially Marcus, even with everything that stands in the way. I'm not super keen on stories where guy meets guy who can magically solve the problem that has been lingering without a solution with relatively little effort, but those do tend to lead to the happy endings we often seek.
