Unabridged Audiobook
Stephen hates Christmas with a passion. It’s one of those holidays he just wishes could be erased from the calendar, forever.
Especially after last year when he was looking forward to spending Christmas with the man he loved enjoying the festivities and exchanging gifts. Only Stephen was given a gift he wished he could return, but there was no receipt.
Fast forward a year, and so much has changed. Stephen is single and moving on with his life. One night while working at a Christmas Party in a swanky hotel, he gets a little more than he bargained for after an encounter with one of the guests, except he’s left with nothing other than the memory of the feeling of lips on his body and a man he desperately wants to know better.
Will their paths cross again? Maybe this year Santa Claus might just give him something he actually wants to open on Christmas morning

I was looking for a sweet romantic holiday
book to listen to while doing my cards and decorating. I found this and it fit
the bill perfectly.
I loved the characters,
the setting, and the storyline. It is short and sweet. The perfect holiday
story for the season.
Dan Calley is always the
perfect narrator to bring a soft voice and easy listen to a good book.
I live in Leeds a vibrant city in the North of the UK. I’ve always loved reading, and one of my fondest memories from childhood was the weekly visits to the library with my dad. It always seemed such a magical place to escape into through the books I read on a weekly basis.
I’d not really thought about writing in my adult life until I was introduced to the world of Fanfiction and after reading so many I found myself making friends through this new media. My friend, Lori, told me to have a go at writing one, and I did. That work took on a life of its own and opened my eyes to the possibilities. This allowed me to get used to plotting a story and while making the characters my own. I also started to beta/pre read for others and discovered, that much to my surprise, they valued my opinion and input.
Making the move to write M/M or slash as it’s known, took me a little longer. After becoming good friends with a wonderful lady from Illinois called Angela, who told me (repeatedly), “You should write slash, I think you’d be good at it.” I shied away from the idea for so long, but the seed was firmly sown in my mind and soon took root and a life of its own. I decided to write a short piece as a surprise gift for Angela’s birthday that year. Emailing it to her, given the time difference between the UK and US this meant I was desperately waiting for her to see it and I think I heard her delighted scream.
Thanks to this, and working on writing group competition, I soon found that I preferred writing M/M to M/F.
In 2013 fate intervened and I lost my job. Through my new one, I met Nicole Colville, and the rest is history. This marked the start of a beautiful friendship. She encouraged me to make the switch to writing original fiction, and I signed up to Nano Wri Mo 2013, but due to changing jobs I couldn’t do it. In 2014 I signed up again, and smashed the 50K word goal in 30 days, with a story I love and am proud of.
I’ve been beta/pre reading
for Nicole over 17 books now (including the 10 shorts in Knights) and the confidence
she inspires in me has been invaluable in me joining this anthology, even
though I think the word ‘no’ doesn’t feature in her vocabulary.
