Twas the night before Christmas in a cabin is Aspen,
When the worst possible thing, like ever, did happen.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
But my Christmas had to be ruined, good God it's not fair!
The children were playing, no sign of a fight,
When I was scarred by the most disturbing, appalling, horrid sight.
I saw what I saw and now I'm traumatized at best,
By the image of my sister and my best friend having sex!
Mason Martinez is still coming to terms with his new family. A father who he's never known, a twin sister who's sleeping with his best friend and an intrusive but kind stepmother. On top of all the new life changes, he just turned thirty and is utterly alone. Enter Charlotte Moore. A broke Ph.D. student from Chicago who just wants to change the world for the better. They might be exactly what the other needs...but perhaps not.
This is a spinoff of Atypical Heiress: The Penelope Marino Story. I suggest reading that first for context, although this can be read as a standalone novel.
