One Winter’s Moment: A One Winter’s Kiss Short Story (Beautiful Nightmare)

One lonely lumberman. One lovesick elite. One snowy cabin.

Brought together by a supernatural world meant to tear them apart, one moment in time unites them in ways neither of them expected.

Ross
Tomorrow there’s a grand ball and I’ve finally worked up the nerve and the proper ensemble to ask my favorite lumberjack to be my plus one. But my family has other plans. As they continue to pile on to my already growing to-do list, will I have the time to get that ax wielding hottie on my arm? Or will I miss my moment?

Stephen
I never know what to say when he’s around, but I’m hoping I can free myself of my brother’s watchful and wary eye long enough to make my move. Even though I’m more comfortable in plaid than the ever-stylish object of my eye, I can only hope when our paths cross again he sees beyond my lumberjack style and awkwardness and gives me just a moment of his time.
