A Christmas Inn, Maine by Aaron Kyte

A sparkling queer holiday rom-com about a former book editor determined to save his family’s failing inn, and the infuriatingly charming contractor he can’t seem to cut from the narrative.

Freshly dumped and jobless, Adam Wheatley has a list of personal failures as long as his arm. Back in his sleepy Maine hometown, he feels completely without purpose. Then he learns his aunt Rose’s secret: her beloved inn is failing, and she’s weeks away from losing her home and her livelihood.

Adam has a plan. He’ll renovate the inn, throw a grand re-opening on Christmas Eve, and head back to the city to rebuild his career in publishing. Simple.

Except the renovation proves more flop than flip. Enter Graham, the maddeningly competent, ridiculously attractive contractor who offers to help in exchange for a place to stay. He’s talented, patient, kind, and far too easy to like. Inconvenient, since Adam has sworn off romance. Permanently.

As the inn’s future wobbles and his feelings for Graham grow harder to ignore, Adam starts rewriting more than his to-do lists. The life he thought he wanted might not be the story he’s meant to live.

And this time, there’s no easy edit.

Here in our little corner of coastal Maine, we know a thing or two about snug inns, snowy harbors, and the kind of small-town warmth that sneaks up on you. This one belongs on your holiday reading pile. It’s perfect for:

• Fans of feel-good LGBTQ+ romance and cozy small-town holiday stories
• Readers who love a grumpy-meets-sunshine spark and witty banter
• Anyone craving a heartwarming Christmas escape by the fire

Pour something warm, pull up a blanket, and linger a while. Adam and Graham are waiting.
