About this ebook
Sometimes Fate gets tired of being ignored. And some nights, nights with a little more magic than the rest, Fate will decide something needs to be done.
Enter Drualus, Senior Correspondent for the Collective Assembly of Christmas Fae, working with the Night Before Reach Out Program. He has a few short hours to change Scott Misener's outlook on life, love, and understanding. Lucky for Scott, Dru knows the perfect way to make that happen.
Following the path of a tried and true trope, Dru is about to take Scott on an erotic journey that will remind him how simply beautiful life once was, and how perfectly beautiful it can be again.

A Beautiful Thing
By A.F. Henley
Scott was not doing any of the things that everyone in the entire city seemed to be doing. He was not picking up a last minute gift for someone who had been forgotten or who had decided they were going to show without advance notice. He was not getting just one more roll of overpriced paper, tape, or ribbon. Nor was he pulling his hair out because he was still obsessing over The Perfect Thing for a spouse or lover. All Scott was doing was grabbing a pack of cigarettes.
He’d known the city was going to be insane. He’d been more than aware that everything from gas station to grocers, from convenience store to department store, would be crawling with consumers. They’d show up if they had to run through snow or toe-step through icy puddles, with unfocused kids or bored, exhausted spouses in tow. It was if they couldn’t stop themselves; it was the one time of year when people became desperate to throw away hard-earned dollars on crap that would be gathering dust on thrift store shelves or overloading the already crippled waste-management system by the end of January.
And Scott hated them for it—every single purchaser, wrapper, bell ringer, and contemplator. Each and every kid staring ogle-eyed at something they didn’t need and wouldn’t want a week after they got it. He even hated the cranky retail workers who gave him attitude like he was one of the people giving them grief. Christmas shopping, visiting, partying, even walking the streets at this time of year, was a disaster waiting to happen.
So, he’d bought his groceries well in advance. He’d made sure the liquor cabinet was stocked back in November and picked up his dry cleaning several days ago. He’d been very, very careful. He’d told himself that this was the
