all the way home i’ll be warm

Driving home for the holidays, Jamie Phipps can’t believe his car has broken down only four hours from the finish line. At least he finds distraction in the arms of a gorgeous older man. When they part ways, Jamie hopes a string of sweet text messages means they’ll stay in touch.

For now, it’s nearly Christmas, and Jamie has other worries. Like hitching a ride with his sister for the final leg of the journey. Like his car, stranded at the repair shop for want of parts. Like meeting his father’s closest friend, Victor Leone, a stranger Jamie doesn’t remember at all.

But when Jamie crosses his parents’ threshold, Victor is no stranger. And even worse than the mutual shock of realizing he slept with his dad’s best friend: Jamie can’t stop craving an encore. It doesn’t matter how powerfully the attraction simmers between them. If anyone learns the truth, their secret will ruin more than just Christmas.

Jamie knows Victor is off limits. If only he could make his stubborn heart believe it.
