About this ebook

Iain Donaldson and Bran MacRae have been best friends since childhood, despite Iain being part of the gentry and Bran a mere crofter's son. Iain's feelings of friendship have deepened over time, and he suspects Bran might share his inclinations—and Hogmanay may be the time to confess feelings. As the old year becomes the new, Iain keeps his promise to first-foot at the MacRae cottage, and Bran takes the opportunity to bare his heart—will it be enough to overcome the challenges to their budding relationship?

A story from the Dreamspinner Press 2013 Advent Calendar package "Heartwarming".

Ari McKay

Ari McKay is the professional pseudonym for Arionrhod and McKay, who have been writing together for over a decade. Their collaborations encompass a wide variety of romance genres, including contemporary, fantasy, science fiction, gothic, and action/adventure. Their work includes the Blood Bathory series of paranormal novels, the Herc’s Mercs series, as well as two historical Westerns: Heart of Stone and Finding Forgiveness. When not writing, they can often be found scheming over costume designs or binge watching TV shows together. Arionrhod is a systems engineer by day who is eagerly looking forward to (hopefully) becoming a full-time writer in the not-too-distant future. Now that she is an empty-nester, she has turned her attentions to finding the perfect piece of land to build a fortress in preparation for the zombie apocalypse, and baking (and eating) far too many cakes. McKay is an English teacher who has been writing for one reason or another most of her life. She also enjoys knitting, reading, cooking, and playing video games. She has been known to knit in public. Given she has the survival skills of a gnat, she’s relying on Arionrhod to help her survive the zombie apocalypse.

    4/5
    With a great setting (Scotland in 1899) and some wonderful characters, this truly heartwarming tale had me fascinated from the start. To find such deep love as Iain and Bran did in a time when it was forbidden, and they risked being shunned or worse if anyone found out, is a true miracle. Adding the fact that Iain is an aristocrat and Bran a simple crofter's son makes the whole situation only more impossible.

    Iain and Bran share a deep friendship. They grew up together and are still close as adults, but both think they can never have what they truly want. Iain is determined to find a way though, and thinks he has a plan that might work. Bran is convinced his parents will disown him, and they will be caught and Iain will lose everything as well. It takes a great deal of courage for both of them to admit their true feelings, and even when they do, their problems aren't over.

    If you like historicals with just the right amount of detail for the men's lives to become "real", if you enjoy reading about boyhood friends who become lovers, and if you're looking for a short, heartwarming read with lots of angst and deep emotions, then you will probably enjoy this short novella.
