Description

Axes and O's is a high-heat, MMF snowed-in "lumbersnack" holiday romance, guaranteed to make you swoon and sweat.

Picture being snowed in with a pair of loggers who look like they've stepped right out of your steamiest daydreams.

Nathan Clark didn't plan on crashing his car and winding up at Fox and Morgan Malone's cabin, but here he is—stranded with a married couple just days before Christmas.

And they're eyeing him like he's the perfect tree to climb.

Fox, with his tattooed, rugged allure, and Morgan, with her sweet and sultry charm, are making Nathan question everything he thought he knew about himself. It might've started with a simple offer to stay warm, but now Nathan's facing a proposition that could change his life forever.

This Christmas, Fox and Morgan are ready to swing their axes, and Nathan's about to find out just how deep their roots run.
