Holiday Scars by Deborah Garland

A Spicy MM Holiday Novella set in the Quinlan Empire World.

Enforcers don’t do holiday cheer.
But one bed. One forbidden kiss.
And one holiday that changes everything.

BLADE
I thought my partner Jett was straight. Off limits.
Until a text meant for his brother lands in my phone.
Now I know exactly what he feels when he looks at me.
We’re supposed to be taking a break for the holiday away from the city.
Instead, we’re playing with fire in the woods.
Every glance, every breath, every touch is a risk neither of us can afford.
Because in our world, love is a liability.
All we have on this mountain is our secret.
Our truth about what we are to each other.
But what if I want more?

JETT
I don’t talk about the past.
The foster homes. The violence. The scars.
I do my job for Quinlan Empire and nothing gets rise out of me.
Except my partner, Blade.
He’s my brother’s best friend and the one man I can’t stop thinking about when the lights go out.
But that’s a line I can never cross.
Now we’re trapped together in a remote cabin for the holiday.
And the tension between us is thicker than the snow blanketing the mountain.
Blade is temptation and danger wrapped in one brutal, beautiful package.
When he finally touches me, there’s no going back.
