Grateful — Kim Fielding

Nate Roth's latest dumb stunt has left him with a broken arm, black eye, and stitched chin -- and extra trepidation about visiting his family for Hanukkah. He fears his relatives will put him through another round of criticism for his foolish choices and his nonexistent love life. Several mishaps during his short journey to his parents' house don't bode well. But along the way he meets impossibly gorgeous Gio DiPietro -- and maybe it's time for Nate's risk-taking impulses to turn out well for a change.
