Theres no reasoning with holiday magic.

Jakob

Being a super genius should make life a sleigh ride, not a snowstorm. Jakob’s entire life has been defined by his oversized brain. When he finally breaks out of the ivory tower he’s been kept in, Jakob has plans to do all the things he’s been told are beneath his intellect. Step one? Deck the halls with his very first Christmas tree. He doesn’t expect to meet his future Daddy on the side of the road, but there’s no arguing with the magic of the holidays.

Reed

Being an ER doctor is an all-consuming profession, especially during the holiday rush. Finding a little takes time, and that’s something Reed has in short supply. He’s used to patching broken bones, not hearts, and the idea of Christmas magic seemed like a fairy tale. But when Jakob crashes into him—quite literally—and somehow jingles his way into Reeds home and heart, it feels like maybe Jakob is right about being wrecked for the holidays.

What could go right with a social worker Daddy and an injured boy?

Will

As a social worker on Almstead Island, I've come to understand the hidden battles people face. But seeing Beckett injured shook me. Behind his tough exterior, there's a vulnerability that tugs at my heartstrings. I want to be his daddy, not just to fulfill a fantasy, but to provide the comfort and security he so desperately needs.

Beckett

The injury didn't just hurt my body; it exposed the emotional bruises my family has inflicted on me since childhood. Their constant criticisms and jokes have worn me down even more than my job as a cop in our small town. Will's kindness and understanding offer a reprieve from the suffocating weight of their judgment. I want to be his boy for longer than a fling.

Beckett needs to drop his guard and Will needs to find the line between nurturing and smothering. Both of these men want what the other is offering, but they'll have to get out of their own way to make it happen.

Sometimes the wait is just the beginning.

Owen

Ive been in love with Barrett since we met in college. Ten plus years and nothing has changed. No man would ever measure up to him, so why would I waste my time? Theyd never be Barrett. Ill never be the one for him, so I work as the in-house designer at Barretts firm and take what I can get. He might be a Daddy, but hes not interested in my kind of little.

Barrett

Ive been in love with Owen since college. More than ten years later, and that hasnt changed. Ive tried to move on from hi, but other men have never measured up. To keep him close, I hired Owen at my hospitality firm, and I take what hes willing to share. Owen might be a little, but hes not interested in my kind of Daddy.

These two best friends will need some help from fate and a little magic to make their happily ever after happen.
