A Sugar Pine Christmas
A.D. Ellis
Sam Benton loves his unconventional life. He didn’t dream of being a work-from-home single parent to his twin sister’s kid for several months at a time, but the setup works just fine, thank you very much. Sure, he wonders if there’s more to life than web design, a snarky teen, and the endless torture of deciding what’s for dinner but, for now, there’s nowhere he’d rather be than raising Toby in Sugar Pine.
When Sam and Mattie find themselves thrown back together, it’s the perfect time to revisit the past. Sam feels bad about the way things played out, but both men recognize it wasn’t the right time for them back then. Now though? Well, that’s a whole different story.
A Sugar Pine Christmas is a standalone novella as part of the multi-author collaboration Single Dads All the Way. Expect friends-to-lovers, second-chance M/M holiday romance with an artist who is all-in with this whole settling down thing and a single dad-slash-uncle torn between longing for something more while mourning the passing of time as his little one moves full-steam ahead toward adulthood.
