    About this ebook

    Milas and Teddy have three things in common: University, music, and rum-laced coffee. Oh, and Milas has been lusting for Teddy for a while now. So, there's that. When they hear street music played by a homeless man with a gift for the violin, the two young men come together to stage a wintry Christmas Eve concert with a difference.

    A group of extraordinary people, a ragtag band of musicians called The Streetsies, give their all to their adoring public to raise funds for charity. Who knows what bells will ring, or which French horns will toot? Christmas looks to be all wrapped up, and Milas is glad for one very special gift.

    His special Teddy Bear for the festive season.

     

    *This is a short story included in the charity anthology Kind Hearts at Christmas which is being re-released as a standalone*

    Susan Mac Nicol

    ABOUT THE AUTHOR The ‘Official’ stuff Susan writes steamy, sexy, and fun contemporary romance stories, some suspenseful, some gritty and dark, and she hopes, always entertaining. She’s also Editor-in-Chief at Divine Magazine, an online LGBTQ e-zine, and a member of The Society of Authors, the Writers Guild of Great Britain, and the Authors Guild in the U.S. Susan is also an award-winning screenplay writer, with scripts based on two of her own published works. Sight Unseen has garnered no less than five awards to date, and her TV pilot, Reel Life, based on her debut novel, Cassandra by Starlight, was also a winner at the Oaxaca Film Fest. The ‘Unofficial’ stuff Susan loves going to the theatre, live music concerts (especially if it’s her man-crush Adam Lambert), walks in the countryside, a good G and T, lazing away afternoons reading a good book, and watching re-runs of Silent Witness.

      Tomorrows

      Mar 15, 2022

      The night, as most nights, was like a dream. At ten, once I’d fed the dog the last scraps off the stove. Once I’d cursed the cat for scratching up my mama’s antique furniture, then welcomed him back into my arms. Once I’d slicked my hair into a ponyt

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      Let’s Say

      I magine a sticky, early August morning, around three o’clock. It is dark, the moon blocked by clouds, no streetlights, a siren in the distance, medics running to a heart attack. Imagine a man out on a bike or walking a sick dog, or maybe a woman who
