Blue Christmas by Viva Gold

Kent Village Outlet Mall sits in the heart of Oxford. It is a lively, busy, exciting place to be particularly if you are the young, talented manager of Zapato – a trendy and popular shoe store. Elvis Smith owns that title and boy does he wear it loud and proud. Not everyone loves Elvis, least of all, Mall Manager Vera Kingsley. However, she is soon to learn to her cost, that the owner of the Village, its names sake, Jonah Kent, finds Elvis distinctly appealing.

Jonah is a wealthy, self-made millionaire. He owns retail outlet malls in the UK and the USA where he now lives, having escaped the disapproval of his lifestyle, from his parents. Their upper-class background cares not for his homosexuality; hence his self-imposed exile to New York. Elvis is young, free and single. He’s career oriented and ambitious. He also sports blue hair, black eyeliner and on most days, a worrying amount of bling.

Somehow, by the magic of Christmas, Elvis and Jonah are thrown together through a series of events, including a charity drive for an LGBTQ+ charity funded by the Woolf-Cohen foundation. When Jonah comes to visit to ensure all the arrangements for the event are running smoothly, he becomes enthralled with a blue haired, blue eyed boy. Elvis in return falls arse over tit for the handsome, over bearing, Jonah Kent.
