In From the Cold

For all the Courtland fans clamoring for the next generation…

Cold and sick, Seth Thompson must fight through a snowstorm to get home. Seth’s unconventional upbringing taught him to always reach out to strangers in need, and Iranian engineering student Bilal al-Mansoori is no exception. Being trapped together leads to an unexpected mutual attractionâ€"and a feverishly hot night under the covers.

But Bilal needs more than simply a rescue from the weatherâ€"he’s trapped under lifetime of cultural pressures. His strict Muslim father and fellow Iranian students have no clue about his inner torment. His attraction to Seth isn’t a welcome discoveryâ€"instead he’s trapped between the existence he’s always known and the prospect of living and loving openly for the first time in his life.
