Shea White isn't looking forward to another lonely Christmas, but she'd do anything to keep from feeling like an obligatory add on to her friend's family events. And anything includes taking over all of Snowfall Valley's holiday events when the community leader is out of commission.

Problem is she's also newly bi, or at least new to Shea, and not out to her parents. So when things between them start to heat up, they have to decided what secrets are worth keeping.

Content warnings: sexually explicit content, mentions of homophobic parents, and brief detailing of an unhealthy relationship to alcohol/borderline alcoholism
