Summary: Gay business manager Sam Dalton is planning on a Hawaiian Christmas this year, his first Christmas away in years in usually having or wanting to work during the holidays from his home base of New York City. He leaving four days before Christmas, it will be a solo venture in not having a significant other, his unsuccessful dating life usually not including a second date in always finding a reason to pull away. Not a family person, especially in not understanding children, or understanding proverbial suburbia, he is blackmailed by his sister and brother-in-law Kathleen and Nate Walker, on an emergency, to sit for their two children, young teen Miles Walker and adolescent Dania Walker, a two hour drive away in small town Braden upstate instead leading up to Christmas, he changing his plans to leave for Hawaii on Christmas Eve. Sam is somewhat of a last choice for Kathleen and Nate in the disaster that was the last time he sat for them five years ago. Needing help, Sam hires what he ends up calling an "uncle consultant" in the form of the Walkers' next door neighbor, Jason DeVito. Also gay, Jason, the youngest of seven and uncle to eighteen, moved back to Braden from Los Angeles to be with family, he aspiring to that suburban family life. While he would have gladly helped Sam for free in he being a natural with children, Miles and Dania who he knows well, Jason admits the money comes in handy for the lawyer retainer fees in he going through a single adoption. An unspoken mutual attraction forms between Sam and Jason in they spending time together in a pseudo family life with Miles and Dania. Beyond their two very different wants for their individual futures, another hurdle Sam and Jason need to overcome is moving their relationship from this formal, paid one and the connotations associated to that, to a purely personal one.

Sheldon Soleskin should be having a horrible day. Even though he’s been unexpectedly transferred to a new school right before the holidays, has only one day to set up his new classroom, and just discovered his twin sister's been hiding an invitation to his ex-boyfriend’s Christmas Eve wedding, he’s still ready to take on the world with a smile on his face and a skip in his step.

Theo Berenson just wants to be left alone to his custodial duties. But when the chipper new first-grade teacher needs help moving furniture the Sunday after Thanksgiving, he's forced to do something he detests. Help. To make matters worse, Theo's overbearing parents are coming for Hanukah in a few weeks, and he's told them he has a boyfriend. Except he doesn't. Because who would want to date an oaf like Theo?

Working together, these opposites discover they might be able to help each other out. Agreeing to be each other’s dates, they become friends as they practice for their upcoming events. But when all the rehearsing starts feeling a little too real, and both men's pasts come roaring back to haunt them, will they be able to pull off the ultimate holiday masquerade?

Sometimes a meet-cute, a long nap, and a sexy-ass bicep is just what the doctor ordered.

Ben Montgomery - I’m not sure if I’ve ever believed in love at first sight. In my forty-five years on this earth, the only sort of love I’ve known is the unconditional, soul-healing kind I have for my twin daughters. But when I meet a sweet, flirtatious man dressed in all black with circles under his eyes even darker than his eyeliner—I’m immediately captivated. Robin Johnson makes me smile more than anyone I’ve ever met. He’s emo-goth and a walking ball of sunshine. He’s giggles and quips and yet deep beneath the surface, he hides an overwhelming sadness. And though I know he’s only in town for a short time, there isn’t much I wouldn’t do to make Robin’s life just a little bit more merry. Even if it means admitting that love at first sight isn’t a fairy tale, after all.

Robin “Trashmouth” Johnson - Years of constant touring, with sleepless nights on the road and in countless hotels has taken its toll on both my body and my mental state. It’s a lifestyle that’s left me exhausted and wrecked, but also afraid to slow down, afraid to stop running. The truth is, I’ve always been running—from my past, from my family, from myself. But visiting my brother, Miles, and his new husband this holiday season in their quiet Vermont town feels like just the break I need to figure out my next step in life. And after a chance encounter with a sexy stranger, who turns out to be more than I ever could have wished for, I wonder if maybe a rolling stone could learn to grow roots.

If Only In Our Dreams is a standalone Holiday MM romance with high heat, a HEA, and no cliffhangers. Includes a blossoming friends-to-lovers romance between a single father and his adorably flirty emo-punk shadow. Together these two are warm, snarky, and tooth-achingly sweet. If you like funny stories with lots of banter, holiday magic, positive mental health rep, and the slowest, sweetest of all burns then read on!
