Blame It on the Fruitcake

Fruitcake is the laughingstock of the holiday season. But can it be an aphrodisiac instead? Motorcycle mechanic Sam McGuire is surprised to find a gaily wrapped box on his doorstep with a piece of fruitcake accompanying an invitation to a holiday party. Wondering if he'll fit in, Sam attends the partymostly to get more of the fruitcake he falls in love withand meets Jay Merriweather, his new neighbor. The lure of Jay's big family and its holiday tradition of enjoying Grandma's fruitcake hook Sam, as does the sexy man himself. But Sam can't imagine why handsome, college-educated Jay would want someone like him, who was raised in a children's home and barely graduated high school. Maybe the magic of the holiday season can help two men who seem so different come together like the ingredients in a well-made fruitcake. A story from the Dreamspinner Press 2015 Advent Calendar package "Sleigh Ride".
