Once Upon A New Year by Jess Bryant

Roman Frost is barely surviving.
Every day of his life since the accident that left him scarred and disfigured has been one disaster after the next. Every year is another reminder that he should be dead. All he wants is to be left alone in his secluded manor home but of course his beloved nephews think differently.
They’re convinced what he needs is a restart and what better time for a new beginning than at the start of a new year?
Ash Beaumont isn’t what Roman expected when his nephews sent him an assistant. He’s young and bold and he isn’t intimidated by Roman’s scars or his scowls. He doesn’t pander and he doesn’t back down. He’s a breath of fresh air and the more time Roman spends with him, the more he remembers what its like to really live.
The season of change is full possibilities. Ash brings light into Roman’s dark life. But is Roman brave enough to step from his shadow and back into the world or is his relationship with Ash just another disaster waiting to happen?
