Overview

Will the new year bring us a new start?
Or will we just end up rehashing old wounds?

I've always loved my hometown of Baytown. Sure, it's small, and it hasn't always been easy being gay here. But my family and our farm are here, surrounded by a gorgeous lake and landscape.

I used to be surrounded by the gorgeous love of my life, here, too, but it's just my luck that I fell in love with a guy who hated it here and couldn't wait to leave. After we graduated, Vance pursued his big city dreams and became a real estate investor.

But now, ten years later, he's back to visit his parents for the holidays... and to buy my family's farm!

We have so much to fight about that I can't believe it when we end up back in bed together. Except that I kind of can, because our chemistry is still off-the-charts hot, even if we can act like Ice Queens trying to freeze each other out sometimes.

Can we work out our differences and rekindle our decades-long romance in time to heat up our winter, or will Vance leave me out in the cold when he returns to the city yet again? Because as we get closer and closer to what we had before, or something even better, I can't help wondering:

Will I unravel his hopes and dreams if I ask him to stay through the new year?
Or will we unwrap the gift of happily ever after together this holiday season?

Because You Stayed Here is a standalone small town, opposites attract, male/male second chance romance that combines humor, heat and heart.

It's Book 6 in the Baytown Boys series. It can be read alone or with others in the series... and a tall glass of water to cool you off after so much steam.
