Snowy Skies and Puppy Eyes | Fae Quin

One secret Santa. Two lonely hearts. And a Christmas spent tearing down walls to let love in. Jason Harker: I'll admit it-I can be a little nosy. When you live alone in a town as small and close-knit as Belleville, other people's stories have a way of filling the quiet. So when I find newcomer, Joe Milton, in the alley behind my store, cradling a bird like it might break his heart to let go, I make it my mission to befriend the enigmatic man. Only problem? Now the whole town thinks I've got a thing for Joe. Me? With a crush? On a man? No. That's... definitely not happening. Probably. Maybe. But the more I try to prove to everyone that Joe and I are just friends, the more this surly, adorable man starts feeling like the best Christmas present I never asked for. Joe Milton: Moving to a new town to start an apple farm? Ambitious. Trying to renovate a crumbling house by myself before my family arrives for Christmas? Possibly delusional. And just when I'm about to lose all hope and sanity, a secret Santa steps in to save me. But it's his so-called elf helper who really catches me off guard. Jason Harker is kind, charming, and makes my heart race faster than my impending renovation deadline. This new friendship and the swirl of confusing feelings make me wonder if this Christmas might mend more than just this old house. Snowy Skies and Puppy Eyes is a standalone Holiday MM romance with high heat, a HEA, and no cliffhangers. Includes a dislike-to-friends-to-lovers romance between a secret millionaire and a grumpy apple farmer. Together these two are tooth-achingly sweet.
