Book excerpt: The town of Linzer, PA is all about Christmas and every other December holiday. For Zane Rutledge, 'Tis the Season... to be single? Being dumped by his long-time boyfriend five months before Christmas, Zane can't yet fathom a new relationship. Besides, he's neck deep in holiday party prep and Christmas play rehearsals. Who's got time? For Simon Wickham, it's looking like yet another blue, blue, blue, Blue Christmas… Being alone at Christmas isn't for the faint of heart, but, at this point, Simon's a pro. Besides, he can't seem to find someone who appreciates his sass, his chatter, and his bow ties. What's not to like? But Santa's elves work in mysterious ways. Find out how Benedict Cumberbatch, Hallmark movies, and bumble bees show Zane and Simon that Christmas really is the most wonderful time of the year.
