A Winter's Dance (Finding Forever #0.5)
Marie Sinclair

As seniors in college, they’re looking forward to a future with each other. The only problem is Ry’s in the closet because his conservative parents won’t accept him as gay, and Cart isn’t sure about a relationship with someone who won’t even hold his hand in public.
When a snow storm cancels classes, Cart and Ry take a walk and go to a friend’s house for a party, while the words "I love you" dance on their tongues. A secret snow garden, ballroom dancing lessons, the lure of the annual Winter’s Ball, and some winter loving conspire to make this a day they will remember forever.
This 25,000-word novella is a stand-alone prequel to A Kind of Forever, Book One in the Finding Forever series.
