As Gabriel stirs things up at the library, working to bring more diversity and openness to the educational programs, not everyone is happy to see the quiet librarian taking a stand, let alone openly dating Arthur. He worries about what people will think of him and how he will fit in. Being with Arthur gives Gabriel a chance to really explore his sexual passions, but it still scares him. Arthur pretty much just sleeps around, and Gabriel hasn’t dated at all in years, and definitely not since becoming the small town librarian. Neither man is quite sure they want things to continue, but as they spend more time together, Arthur and Gabriel’s dislike for one another slowly fades and is replaced by attraction and a growing closeness.īoth Gabriel and Arthur are lonely, but neither one has ever really expected to find a relationship. Gabriel has never been able to let his fantasies out in the open, but somehow Arthur pushes all the right buttons to help Gabriel really let go and the two men have an explosive night together. The two men want nothing to do with one another until one night tempers explode, and the angry hate turns into some crazy hot sex. Being forced to play an elf alongside Arthur’s Santa is the stuff of Gabriel’s nightmares, but getting out of it is proving impossible. Gabriel isn’t particularly thrilled to find himself thrown together with the gruff Arthur either, finding him boorish and unappealing. Arthur may be lonely since his two best friends moved out, but he is not that desperate. Arthur doesn’t like that prissy, nerdy librarian and has no interest in spending time with him, and certainly not in dating him. Especially since he knows it is all a ploy to set him up with the geeky town librarian, Gabriel Higgins.
