    About this ebook

    Bianca worries that her daddy, Gavin, is lonely and decides he needs a boyfriend for Christmas. So she enlists her father's best friend, the straight and unattached Curtis. Gavin has a Christmas wish, too, and Curtis setting him up on disastrous dates isn't part of it! Meanwhile, Curtis finds life becoming complicated as he tries to please Bianca, make Gavin happy, and fend off his own unexpected mixed feelings. Will anyone's wish come true?

    B.G. Thomas

    B.G. Thomas lives in Kansas City with his two husbands—which yes, is different, but amazingly rewarding and wonderfully romantic. They have two sweet rescue dogs named Oliver (who the breed name Dorkie applies perfectly) and Frodo (who is just learning to be a dog). He is missing his soul dog Sarah Jane very much, but she will live on forever in several of his books and in his heart. He is also blessed to have a lovely daughter and they love to hang out. B.G. loves to read romance, comedy, fantasy, thrillers, mystery, science fiction, and even horror—as far as he is concerned, as long as the stories are character driven and entertaining, it doesn’t matter the genre. He has gone to literature conventions his entire adult life, where he’s been lucky enough to meet many of his favorite writers. He has made up stories since he was a child; it’s where he finds his joy. In the nineties, he wrote for gay adult magazines but stopped because the editors wanted all sex without plot, and edited his setups right out. “The sex is never as important as the characters,” he says. “Who cares what they are doing if we don’t care about them?” Excited about the growing male/male romance market—where setup and cute meets is where it’s at—he began writing again. He submitted a novella and was thrilled when it was accepted in four days. Since then the romantic tales have poured out of him. “It’s like I’m somehow making up for a lifetime’s worth of story-telling!” “Leap, and the net will appear” is his personal philosophy and his message. “It is never too late,” he testifies. “Pursue your dreams. They will come true!” You can read about whatever he’s working on right now or whatever he’s rambling on about at his website/blog at: bthomaswriter.wordpress.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/bgthomaswriter Twitter: twitter.com/BGThomasBooks He is always happy to hear from his readers!

      Bianca’s Plan - B.G. Thomas

      Bianca’s Plan

      CURTIS? Do you think Daddy’s happy?

      Curtis Harrell turned from the turkey he was stuffing to look at the ten-year-old peering at him across the table. Her dark-brown hair was pulled back tight and her big brown eyes were filled with deep concern. What makes you ask that, Bee?

      Bianca shrugged and looked away for a moment. I don’t know.

      Curtis raised an eyebrow. There was never a time that Bianca didn’t know why she was asking anything. Come on, Bee. Out with it.

      She made a face and blew out a puff of air. He should have a boyfriend, don’t you think?

      Curtis stopped stuffing and flexed his sticky hand. This he had not been expecting. Bianca, interested in her father’s love life? He supposed he should be grateful she was so casual about the gay thing and that she had no fantasies about her father finding her a new mom.

      Truth to tell, Curtis did worry about Gavin. It made him sad there was no one special in his best friend’s life. Maybe he’s not ready.

      "What’s he not ready for? She bit her lower lip. It’s been a long time since Voldemort ran off."

      Curtis tried not to laugh at Bianca’s nickname for Gav’s ex. Voldemort—Steve—had vanished one day while Gav was at work. Gavin had been frantic with worry, only to discover the creep had run off with the owner of The Watering Hole, a semi-popular Kansas City hangout. Neither Curtis nor Gav had gone to the bar since. That had been almost two years ago.

      I never liked that freak, anyway, Bianca added.

      Curtis hadn’t liked the guy much either. Steve had been gorgeous, there was no doubt about that. But the man had always felt fake to Curtis. He certainly hadn’t been very… intellectual. Curtis suspected it was Steve’s Olympic accomplishments in the bedroom that had kept Gavin interested more than any other reason. And hell, why not? But it was just that Curtis felt his friend deserved more.

      Your dad’s busy, honey. He works hard for his money. Gavin did too. He worked a full-time shitty job (plus as many overtime hours as they’d allow) to support himself and his daughter. Why else do you think he’s not here helping us get dinner ready? Curtis asked.

      Bianca sighed and rolled her eyes. You think that damned job is going to let him go home early? Who has to work on Thanksgiving anyway?

      Anyone who worked Thursdays at RMMS, Gav’s shitty place of employment, Curtis thought. The place was open 365 days a year and Gavin worked Thursdays, so he always worked Thanksgivings.

      Don’t swear, Bee, Curtis said.

      She rolled her eyes again. All I said was ‘damned’.

      Nevertheless, was his only answer.

      Bianca pouted. It only made Curtis grin. She was too old to pout and he told her so.

      She humphed in reply and, humming Jingle Bells under her breath, began to open cans to make the green bean casserole.

      God, Curtis loved that little girl, in many ways wished she were his own. But she wasn’t. All he could do was hope he found the right woman so that one day he could have a child. One day! It had better happen soon. He was already thirty.

      Curtis shook his head. It’s going to be a great day one way or the other, he told Bianca. We’ll have a big wonderful dinner no matter what.

      I wish you weren’t straight, Bianca said suddenly.

      Curtis let out a bark of surprised laughter. Why is that? he asked.

      Because I love you. And you and Dad would be a great couple. You’re already best friends. I think it would be cool having you as my other dad.

      Nope. Bianca harbored no wishes that her dad would meet the right woman. Curtis shook his head. You come up with the craziest stuff, Bee.

      Bianca turned back, scrutinized him. "You are straight, right?"

      Curtis leaned on the table and propped his chin in his hand—too late realizing it was the one that had been stuffing the turkey. Shit.

      No swearing, Bianca cried.

      With a snort, he stood and grabbed a towel and wiped at his chin. How did he answer her? So complicated. Straight enough, was the answer. But instead he said, Have you ever seen me date a dude?

      I haven’t seen you date a girl in forever!

      What about Caitlin?

      Bianca grimaced. "Please."

      Well, yeah. He deserved that. He tried another. Susan?

      Bianca flicked her hand, not even honoring the name with a comment. To be fair, Susan wasn’t really worth it. Not that she was a bad person, she just wasn’t his type. Whatever that was. He’d yet to discover that.

      And you better not say Alison either, Bianca stated flatly.

      You keeping tabs? Curtis started to run his fingers through his hair, and remembered at the last second that a sticky chin was bad enough.

      Yes, she said with a toss of her head.

      Then how can you say I’m not dating? He began to stuff the turkey again. He’d finished the chest cavity and was now filling the neck.

      ’Cause you never date them twice.

      What about Alison?

      Bianca flipped a piece of onion peel at Curtis. I told you not to mention her.

      Hey! No throwing food!

      Bianca threw a piece of eggshell.

      Curtis flapped his hand and bits of stuffing flew at Bianca.

      Gross!

      Stop throwing food, he repeated.

      Bianca sighed again and flounced onto a kitchen chair.

      Do you think Dad is hot?

      Curtis coughed, nearly choked. Hot?

      She nodded. I mean, why doesn’t anyone ask him out? He’s not ugly, is he? I was in the laundry room yesterday and heard Preston telling his sister that Dad’s hot when he didn’t think I was listening.

      Preston, the skinny little florist who lived two floors down, thought Gavin was hot?
