Working together is a nightmare, considering they argue every waking second What makes it even more difficult is the fact that Eli’s not actually unimpressed, and that he’s been crushing on Xaden since the day they met.

Deal breaker
We were supposed to hook up and never see each other again. Oops.
Ellis Donlan
Me? A sports agent? Clearly, hell has frozen over.
That’s what’s happening, though. Dad wants me working for the family business, and I've run out of excuses not to do it.
Dreading my first day, I head out looking for a hot guy to help me get the edge off.
That’s when I meet Damon, the hottest and sweetest man ever.
The plan is one night of fun, then we never see each other again.
The universe has other ideas, though, because the next morning I find out he’s my new coworker. And thanks to a little too much pillow talk, I accidentally use insider info from him to get my first leads.
Now he hates me, and the sweet guy I met is nowhere to be found.
Damon Marks
I don’t do one-night stands. Not my thing.
But then Ellis enters my life. He’s beautiful, bold, and I'm instantly enamored.
He refuses to give me his number, and tells me straight up that he only wants one night. Even if I don’t usually do that, I can't walk away.
It’s too bad that he doesn’t want to see me again after this, because he turns out to be perfect.
Next morning, though, we both discover we’re going to be seeing a lot of each other. He’s the CEO’s son, and I never even saw it coming.
Now, two years after, just when I’ve gotten used to disliking a man I’ve very much attracted to, a snowstorm traps us together during a scouting trip with one hotel room. And one bed.
Deal Breaker is an M/M holiday romance novella, featuring a one-night stand between two people who thought they’d never see each other again.
