Books, Balls, and Cute Butts for Christmas

Books, Balls, and Cute Butts for Christmas is a high-heat MM romcom filled with potent pineapple juice, a book boyfriend auction, and a foul-mouthed parrot.

Frosty Bottoms, Vermont, is home of the largest Christmas festival on the east coast and the state's hottest gay bar, Bottoms Up.

Two months ago, at the bar's Halloween party, a wolf with abs like Adonis had a scorching hot hookup in the men's room with a sexy, tattooed mouse. Now that Christmas is almost here, the burning embers of that night come roaring back to life.

International soccer superstar Jacob Rizzo is hiding out in Frosty Bottoms after being suspended for punching a referee. Laying low during his suspension, he starts up a contracting business, doing odd jobs for the locals, who've agreed to keep his whereabouts a secret.

Twilight-obsessed bookseller Edward Kane is moving to Frosty Bottoms to open Hot for Plot, a new romance bookstore. With the help of his bartender brother, he hires a contractor to bring his dream shop to life. Between the contractor's sexy voice on their daily calls and his brother's teasing about how hot he is, Edward can't wait to meet him.

Despite wanting to make a good first impression, when the two finally meet, Edward ends up face first against Jacob's bulge. Jacob instantly recognizes the top of that head: it's the mouse from Halloween. But Edward has no idea they've met before.

Jacob is everything Edward is not-athletic, confident, and soccer-obsessed-while Edward is quiet, dresses in emo blacks, and hopelessly romantic. They couldn't be more opposite. While Jacob is certain he can't ever have a relationship, Edward carries around a personal Book Boyfriend List.

Playful teasing soon ignites into a secret holiday romance amid the town's glittering Snowflake Festival. But if the media discovers Jacob's hiding place it will mean the end of his privacy and the quiet life he's built in Frosty Bottoms.
