Christmas at the Ski Resort by Kevin Martz

Ethan Miller and Derek Guerrero have been bitter rivals on the slopes for years, but this Christmas, their rivalry is about to take an unexpected turn. At the luxurious Mountain Top Resort, snowboarding champions Ethan and Derek face their final showdown—one last chance to break their tie and become the Ultimate Snowboarding Champion, a title they’ve been battling over since they were kids. But their rivalry is about to turn into something neither of them expected. Ethan, still reeling from a devastating breakup, arrives at the resort hoping for a grand return to his former glory. Christmas has always been his favorite time of year, but after months of heartbreak and isolation, he’s struggling to find joy in anything. Derek, meanwhile, is burdened by the suffocating pressure from his wealthy, image-obsessed family and his unresolved questions about his sexuality. When an off-limits race leaves them stranded overnight, an unexpected bond forms between the two. What starts as a night of survival turns into something deeper, challenging everything they thought they knew about each other—and themselves. But with Derek too afraid to come out and Ethan hesitant to risk his heart again, can their newfound connection survive the weight of family expectations, societal pressure, and their own insecurities? Christmas at the Ski Resort is a swoon-worthy enemies-to-lovers holiday romance, perfect for fans of heartfelt LGBTQ+ love stories and the magic of Christmas.
