“I miss you, too.”

UKE
Schumaker and Alex Shaw were married at a historic inn in central New York on Christmas Eve. Luke had called twenty places before he’d found a vacancy. There was scrambling for hotel rooms, tuxes, a minister, dinner reservations, a marriage license, a handicap-accessible restaurant for the reception, and a dog sitter. But standing there in the Victorian parlor, with both of their families in attendance and even, for the most part, supportive, Luke was pretty sure it had all been worth it. And when he took Alex’s hands in his and kissed his new husband, he knew for sure it had been.
The crossword puzzle in the Philly
Examiner
contained this hidden message the following Sunday:
For as long as we both shall live. Luke and Alex.
About the Author

ASTON
has been at various times and under different names a minister’s daughter, a computer programmer, a game designer, the author of paranormal mysteries, a fanfiction writer, an organic farmer, and a profound sleeper. She is now happily embarking on yet another incarnation, this time as an m/m romance author.
As an avid reader of such, she is tickled pink when an author manages to combine literary merit, vast stores of humor, melting hotness, and eye-dabbing sweetness into one story. She promises to strive to achieve most of that most of the time. She currently lives on a farm in Pennsylvania with her husband, three bulldogs, three cows, and six chickens. All of them (except for the husband) are female, hence explaining the naked men that have taken up residence in her latest fiction writing.
