Eight years isn’t long enough to forget my stepbrother, or the man he loves.
I’ve spent my life running from mistakes, leaving behind towns, lovers, and regrets. But Christmas drags me back to Piper Falls.
Back to him. To them.
My stepbrother, still a jerk. His boyfriend, still unbearably gorgeous. And me? Still wanting what I shouldn’t.
Now we’re trapped miles from anyone else. The walls are thin, the tension’s thicker, and every secret I’ve buried claws its way to the surface.
This year, I’m not just facing the past. This Christmas … I’m the gift.
