A Holly Jolly Heartbreak
ISBN 9798952732087
Shelved: Childhood friends to lovers
It's beginning to look a lot like heartbreak.
Fletcher Bright should be ecstatic. The holidays are here again, and his favorite LGBTQ hockey series is slated to become a TV series. It’s the kind of queer, joyful, messy representation he’s been dreaming about since he was a lonely, out-and-proud kid in small-town Vermont.
But there’s one huge problem: Cal Bennett has been cast as one of the leads. The same Cal Bennett who was his childhood best friend here in Chesterfield Vermont, and later his teenage crush. The same Cal Bennett he made a desperate pass at when they were seventeen—and was quickly, humiliatingly rebuffed.
Now Vermont’s newest local celebrity has returned for the first time in years to brush up on his hockey skills with his high school coach. Which leaves Fletcher dodging Cal at the tree lighting and the Christmas parade and at his own kitchen table, even as the whole town is buzzing about Cal’s big break.
Cal has a toxic father he’s never stopped trying to outrun, a fledgeling career that’s exciting but lonely, and a heart he never learned how to hand over without hurting himself—or Fletcher.
It’s going to be a long, cold Christmas…unless two idiots can stop breaking each others’ hearts, and start fighting for them instead.
