When acclaimed photographer Adrian Brauer decides to do a favor for an old friend at the last minute, with Christmas looming, he doesn't expect to fall head over heels with his subject at nearly first sight. That's not the worst part, though. His assignment was to create a modeling portfolio for his friend's son.
Associate Professor James Field was having a truly terrible day, until a handsome stranger dropped into the seat across from him and started taking pictures. It becomes clear soon enough that this gorgeous photographer thinks he's someone else entirely. And James is feeling just off-kilter enough to roll with it, after all he's never felt such an attraction.
As the mistaken identity snowballs, both Adrian and James struggle privately with their growing feelings. Before the truth can come out, Adrian's gone and James has to figure out how to make his Christmas wish come true.
This Work-In-Progress is a tender, funny M/M Christmas romance.
Cameron D. Garriepy attended a small Vermont college in a town very like Thornton. She's missed it since the day she packed up her Subaru and drove off into the real world. Some might say she created the fictional village as wish fulfillment, and they would be correct.
She is the author of the Thornton Vermont series, and the founder of Bannerwing Books, a co-op of independent authors. Prior to Bannerwing, Cameron was an editor at Write on Edge, where she curated three volumes of the online writing group's literary anthology, Precipice. Cameron appeared in the inaugural cast of Listen to Your Mother - Boston, and irregularly contributed flash fiction to the Word Count Podcast.
Since her time at Middlebury College, Cameron has worked as a nanny, a pastry cook, an event ticket resale specialist, an office manager, and a content writer. In her spare time, she cooks, gardens, knits, reads avidly, and researches hobby farming. She writes from the greater Boston area, where she lives with her husband, son, a pug puppy, and four hens.
