Holidays Are Where Your Heart Is — Bru Baker

Jared's been all over the world as a traveling manny with Holiday Helpers, and the itch to put down roots is is starting to eclipse his wanderlust -- especially since his current family is a handful. 

After culinary school, Wes did some wandering of his own, exploring Central America before settling as a resort chef in his mother's homeland of Costa Rica, a place he loves and plans to stay. If he's learned one thing, it's to be wary of flings with vacationers. Still, he can't stand to watch two little Swiss kids lose their belief in Saint Nicholas, so he'll lend a hand to the manny assisting the family. It won't be easy to recreate a traditional European Christmas in a tropical paradise. 

Between a snowball fight on a sunny beach and sledding down an active volcano, Jared and Wes discover some renewed holiday magic of their own. Can they make it last a lifetime?
