Some detours lead exactly where you need to go.

Milo just wants to get home for Christmas. But when his flight gets cancelled and he's stranded at the airport with no way to afford both a rental car and rebooking, his holiday plans start falling apart. Until the Tinsel & Tingles app connects him with another stranded traveler heading to the same small town.

Enter Evan: calm, capable, and offering to split the rental if Milo helps with gas money. At thirty-eight, he's got his life together -- successful environmental consulting career, a practical approach to problems, and eight hours of highway to get them both home.

Except somewhere between departure and destination, this convenient arrangement becomes something neither of them planned for. And when feelings get complicated, so does everything else: different cities, different life stages, and the question of whether either of them is ready to risk the carefully ordered lives they've built.

But maybe some connections are worth the distance. Worth the risk. Worth taking the chance, even when nothing about it makes practical sense.

This holiday season, the best journeys are the ones you don't plan.

A standalone M/M holiday romance with open-door heat, road trip forced proximity, and a guaranteed HEA. Book 4 in the Tinsel & Tingles series -- where a cheeky dating app creates the perfect holiday matches.
