'When the trees start to fall, Charlie’s heart follows…
'Being caught with another man sends Charlie Young fleeing his family to the forests of south-western Australia to scrape together steamer-passage to the big smoke of London. But life as a lumberjack isn’t easy, and it’s made worse when the men he works with are brash, bigoted, and often brutal.
'All except Jack Tapper, who’s the kind of gentle giant that sets Charlie’s heart racing.
'When the other men head into town for Christmas, it’s just Charlie and Jack and acres of forest. A few days alone is the perfect opportunity to indulge a passion that could set the whole forest ablaze, but Christmas is but one day of the year. When the men return, Charlie must make the tough decision about whether to make a new life with Jack or continue with his plans of running away to England.
'And when there are sharp axes lying around, Charlie’s choice could be the difference between life and death.
'Christmas with the Lumberjack is a historical gay romance set in the forests of 19th century Western Australia. If you like gentle giants, down-under Christmases, and lumberjacks that make you sweat, you’ll love this short holiday read.'
