But when Sam receives an unexpected Secret Santa gift at the party, he’s forced to question his assumptions about his rival. Could it be that he’s been misinterpreting Nick’s actions all along? And is it possible that his reluctant attraction to Nick is reciprocated? Rest and Be Thankful Things haven’t been going well for Cam McMorrow since he moved to Inverbechie.
