Kaleo Lakeford skyrocketed in the entertainment industry during his first year of university. 15 years later, he is a retired entertainer. Married for ten years with a 7-year-old daughter, he finds himself divorced and a single parent after his wife was caught in a string of public affairs.

Devastated and trying to put the crumbs of his and his daughter’s life back together, he decides to take a break from the cameras and media for the holiday season and takes his daughter to his childhood home that he hasn’t set foot in since before he got married ten years prior.

Destin Ashwell left university his first year to take care of his sick mother. With no education, he fought to provide for her for six years until she passed away from her illness. The bank seized their home, and he was living in his car when Lilah Lakeford finds him and brings him home. With her help, he finishes school and rebuilds his life, both of them leaning on each other as replacements for his dead mother and her estranged relationship with her son, Kaleo.

At 33-years-old Kaleo will come home this holiday season to repair the fences around the rocky relationship he has with his mother, put the building blocks of his and his daughter’s life back together, and unravel past misunderstandings and misconceptions of his old schoolmate Destin, all while trying to keep the holiday cheer turned up for his 7-year-old daughter.

Will Kaleo find the life he’s been waiting for all along back home? Or will his walls send him back to the only life he’s known for the past 15 years?

This is a winter holidays story about a family healing with holiday traditions and cheer to warm the heart. This story comes with a single dad, one-sided dislike to friends to lovers, second chance on first crushes, unrequited love, mutual pining, past misunderstandings, learning to communicate, hurt/comfort, and healing from an emotionally and physically abusive marriage. But it’s also paired with colorful holiday adventures, the joys of a child, along with undeniable chemistry and sizzling heat while learning to love again. A found family, and a reconnected and put back together family.

About the Author

I’m an MM author. I would love to say I’m a low-angst author, but I can never seem to leave the mental health rep out of my stories long enough to achieve that. However, I at the very least, can guarantee all my stories are loaded with swoon-worthy moments & have an HEA!
I’m an asexual mother of two. I spent most of my life knowing I was on the queer spectrum but never really knowing quite where I fit in. My characters explore sexual identities that slide on the spectrum simply because it took me 20 years to figure out exactly where I sat.
I have dyslexia that tends to affect my sentence structure when I write. I try to catch it all, but sometimes if the words in my sentences are in the wrong place, that’s why.
I also have a slew of other, well most people call them personality disorders, but I call them personality enhancers. However, that being said, I am ridiculously socially awkward and have a hard time connecting with people, no matter how hard I try. I love when people reach out to me, but I have the conversational skills of a drab concrete wall. Luckily that particular hindrance doesn’t translate to my characters.
