Ryder Carroll and Christian Isham have never gotten along. In their small Texas town, they're constantly at odds. Which is why it seems like some kind of cruel joke that when both of them go on gay-friendly vacation for Christmas, they keeping meeting up in unexpected places.

The thing is, once Ry and Chris see what lies beneath the mechanic's coveralls and the buttoned up school teacher, they're so intrigued that they can't stay away from one another. Can they find any common ground beyond the physical attraction they've unwrapped?

Excerpt

Christian paid his sixty dollars and parked his Volvo in the fenced lot. Ten days. Ten days of parties, tequila, sun, and karaoke. Lounging by the pool, shore excursions with hot Latino guys…

He couldn't wait.

He grabbed his suitcases out of the trunk and headed for the shuttle bus that would take him to the terminal. Ten days where he wasn't Mr. Isham. Ten days where he didn't have a room of ten year olds to teach. Ten days out of fucking small town Texas and on the Rainbow Holiday Cruise.

Fucking A.

The driver helped a pair of dapper old gents onboard before the shuttle headed for the cruise terminal, and Christian watched idly out the window. There were very few families, mostly couples, men and men, women and women. There were more Hawaiian shirts and board shorts than he'd seen since his last trip to the beach, three years ago.

He saw some singles, though, including one hot-hottie getting a bag out of a sleek black pickup. The man was tall, with a black cowboy hat pulled down to shade his face. Tight ass, jeans like a second skin, black T-shirt of joy. It was a picture right out of some cowboy porn fantasy. Christian could just lick him from top to bottom.

Then the guy turned toward him, and there was something familiar about the stubborn jaw, something oddly well-known about the set of the guy's lips. Too bad he couldn't see the shaded eyes. Christian frowned. He hadn't been cruising in years. Dallas, maybe, once a year, maybe, but this was hours away.

The bus moved on, and he was able to settle back in his seat and forget the uncomfortable niggle. If there was someone he knew, well, they were on the Rainbow Cruise, too, right? No problem.

The cruise terminal and check in were pretty straightforward.

Stand in line here.

Stand in line there.

Stand in line some more.

Easy.

Get your card. Sign for all charges you might incur. Bump into some guy. Some hot guy.

"'Scuse me." Can I lick you in apology?

"Oh, hey, no problem." The guy turned to smile at him from under that big black cowboy hat, and the urge to lick fled pretty fast. Jesus. Who would expect Ryder Carroll to be on a gay cruise?
