Callum is counting down the days until he can escape Foggy Basin again. One month. One family reunion. Zero intentions of staying.
Falling for Paxton, the charming, award-winning meadery owner he meets mid-flight while talking him through a panic attack, was never part of the plan.
Fate has other ideas.
Reunited in Foggy Basin, their instant connection deepens over Paxton’s brews, late night conversations, and family reunion events, when Paxton volunteers to attend as Callum’s new boyfriend to shield him from his terrible ex.
When Paxton’s dream of expanding his meadery is threatened by a stubborn developer, Callum uses the one thing he’s always trusted—his words— to help Paxton fight back.
What starts as a mutual favor turns into a shared mission… and something dangerously close to love.
With family expectations closing in and his carefully planned escape uncertain, Callum has to decide if Foggy Basin is just another stop on his journey, or the place where he decides to return for good.
