Strawberries in the Snow — Kate Pavelle

Divorced and apart from his young daughter, Vince just can't get into the Christmas spirit . He's supposed to be free, gay, and out. His ex-wife even encourages him to date and be happy â€" but his heart isn't in it.
Vince's younger officemate Tom is working through dark times. He can't navigate his way out of a paper bag, but his personable manner and generosity is the bright candle that lights the way for both of them. Friends, family, and the greater New York area means nobody needs to be alone â€" and if they play their cards right, both Tom and Vince just might get a second shot at happiness.
