Christmas Opportunities

By Sydney Blackburn

Eric is burnt out at work, and struggling with being a single parent since his sister and her husband died in a freak car accident. His boss and dear friend decides he needs a winter holiday in Banff to reconnect with his nephew and recharge for work.

Brady teaches business at a community college in Banff, aiming for a board position. He partially supports both his mother and baby sister, and he's not looking for any more family who needs him.

But his attraction to Eric is undeniable, even though he knows nothing can ever come of it.

Excepte it might just be Brady who needs Eric and four-year-old Tyler.
