Away With a Stranger

Cole Dunway's got everything under control.

Well, not everything. But the things he can control? 

Those are locked down. 

Until he's wheeling through the airport, heading back to the Gulf Coast for Christmas with his family, and smacks into distressed friend-of-a-friend Andi Ennis.

Andi's at a loss. 

Bag packed, they/them badge pinned to their chest, flight on time ... but abruptly uninvited to their family home. 

Which is fine. They'll figure something out. 

Especially if know-it-all Cole gets his way and drags Andi home with him.

Sharing a cozy beach cottage, and the warmth of family, Andi and Cole find unexpected connections and plenty of heat to draw them together. But is it only holiday magic, or can the romance endure once they've left the sand and Santa behind?
