On the first day of Bookmas...

Stirred

by Charity Ferrell

One reader’s review:

"Oh my gosh you guys! This book was magic! It was pure break my heart, melt my heart, put my heart back together again gold! Jamie and Cohen’s story is gut wrenching at first , but then it gives way to this phenomenally beautiful journey of love, and healing at the same time. Cohen and Jamie’s story is anything but a traditional boy meets girl romance."

Holidays at home are the coziest and I'm inviting you into the homes of my characters with a peek into their new traditions.

This is the apartment that was my inspiration for Jack Rothman's bachelor pad in the downtown Manhattan neighborhood of Tribeca. The polished designer look is representative of how impersonal everything felt in his life until he met Rory Campbell and Spencer Hartley. But by the Christmas season that followed everything had changed.

"Spencer," Rory said from the center of the Rockefeller Center ice rink. "No one is going to laugh at you if you fall." She waved him off of the railing.

Jack stood behind her and snaked his hands under her arms. He unzipped the top of her parka and then the polar fleece beneath. He'd gotten all the way down to a nice flash of her cleavage before Spencer took a tentative push away from the wall. "You never play fair, Jack," Spencer said.

"You wouldn't like it if I did," Jack said to him and watched every cautious slide of Spencer's skates as he made his way to them around the dozens of other skaters. He wouldn't help, because there would be a reward for all his efforts they were both counting on.

When Spencer finally made it to them, Jack pulled Spencer into Rory, sandwiching her between the two. "Come hear," he said to Spencer and kissed him. "Once around, and I'm taking you both home to unwrap you."

"Spencer and I have something we want to give you first," Rory said.

"I already have everything I need," Jack said. But when they returned to the apartment, above the door he was surprised to find a clutch of mistletoe hanging. A monogrammed ring dangled from the middle with of all of their initials.

Rory and Spencer knelt before him. "I shouldn't be the only one with a ring," Rory said.

Jack took the clutch down and slipped on the ring. It was a perfect fit. "He rubbed his hand against Spencer's cheek. "What about you?"

Spencer glanced down between his legs. "Don't worry. I'm wearing a ring for you exactly where it belongs."
