Snowbound Date and Other Stories — Veronica Tower

Thea's been living at home taking care of her mother for most of her adult life. It's well past time she get out on her own and strive for a little romance.

Another Snowbound New Year
Thea doesn't remember how she let her cousin, Kara, convince her to go out with her on New Year's Eve. The weather looks terrible and her mother is up in arms over their plan to ring in the New Year at a local bar. It would have been so much easier to cancel the plans and stay in for the night as she's done every year since she moved in with Mom to take care of her. So why is she out now while the snow begins to fall drinking beer and playing pool with her cousin? And why does she keep making excuses to talk to the bartender with the long blonde hair and the dreamy blue eyes? Could he really be interested in a woman more than ten years older than him? If the snow keeps falling, she may just build up enough nerve to find out.

Snowbound Date
First dates are always exciting, but they can be nerve-wracking too -- especially when they involve meeting your new younger white boyfriend's family. It's a lot to handle, but Thea figures it worth the extra strain to spend some time with him since Nick is really cute and his smile makes her tingle from head to toe. She didn't count on the snowstorm…

Snowbound Games
Thea and Nick have only just started dating, but already Thea is figuring out that she really likes to play. And the best games of course, are the kind that lead to more fun -- not just in the bedroom, but on the kitchen table, or on the living room floor, or wherever she and Nick happen to be when their clothes start coming off. With another snowstorm about to hit Detroit, they're going to have plenty of time to explore some Snowbound Games.
