Christmas is Harry’s favourite time of the year, but it looks

like he’ll be spending it alone. When it comes to the men he

fancies, his luck is non-existent. Harry’s nerves always get

the better of him—especially when he tries to talk to Andrew,

the hot guy downstairs.

Everything changes when Harry meets a mysterious girl in

the woods who professes to be a witch. He dismisses her

claims, but when odd things start happening to him, he has

to reconsider.

Andrew was attracted to Harry from the start, but their

awkward encounters put him off. All goes well until Harry

opens his mouth—and ruins it with his stupidity and silly

comments. When Harry suddenly becomes more relaxed and

they have a proper conversation, Andrew realises his first

impression was wrong. As the days count down to

December

25, they get swept up in the Christmas spirit and their

relationship moves faster than either expected.

A little winter magic might have been the push they needed,

but Harry worries that when it wears off, he’ll no longer be

the man Andrew wants.

Harry didn’t need to look behind him to have his suspicions confirmed. The smug expression on Jason’s face said it all. “I hate you,” he whispered.

Jason kicked his shin. “Sit up, smile, and look happy to see him.”

Two minutes later, Andrew was pulling up a chair and setting his drink on the table.

Harry looked at the red takeaway cup topped with a mountain of whipped cream, and grinned. Instead of blurting out the first thing that came to mind—“Are you really gonna drink that?”—because God only knew what would happen this time to make him stop, Harry paused and took a sip of his coffee.

Andrew darted a glance between Harry and Jason, beginning to look uncomfortable, as though he thought he’d interrupted them.

Harry took a deep breath, then gestured at Andrew’s cup. “Is that one of the Christmas specials?” That wasn’t so hard, was it?

He relaxed a little as Andrew smiled at him and settled back in his chair.

“Yeah, it’s the gingerbread latte. I don’t normally indulge, but it’s bloody freezing out there today, and I fancied something delicious and bad for me.” His gaze caught Harry’s and lingered.

A flare of warmth filled Harry’s chest. This was flirting, right? It wasn’t his imagination.

Then Jason opened his big mouth and ruined the moment, saying, “Yeah, I think Kyle has that effect on a lot of people.”

Harry choked on his mouthful of coffee, just managing to swallow it instead of spraying it over the table. He glared daggers at Jason, who feigned innocence.

Andrew glanced over at the counter, then back at Jason, and laughed, his eyes crinkling at the edges. Harry bit his lip in frustration. Why couldn’t he get Andrew to laugh like that?

“Yeah,” Andrew said, “He’s not bad to look at.” Then his gaze slid back to Harry and his smile softened. “Not my type, though.”
