When I first met dive boat captain Lee and deep sea diver Bobby in ‘Diving Deep’, their story pulled me in from page one. I got an adventure, suspense, and a gripping love story in one and both men struggled with who they were as individuals and how they might (or might not!) fit together as lovers. At the end they had worked most of it out, but with a relationship as volatile as theirs had been before their hard-earned happy ending, I was curious to see how they’d face and deal with other challenges such as – Christmas!

The dive boat Bottom Hunter has become home to Lee and Bobby, and Lee is determined to give Bobby the best Christmas ever. A Christmas tree, mulled cider, and a toast to Lee’s first Christmas as a sober man are part of his plans. All of this on a boat in a storm and as far as I could see, more adventure was pretty much guaranteed – even though it is docked. Then it becomes obvious Bobby has some plans of his own and they made me smile.

If you want to know how Lee and Bobby are doing, if Christmas on a dive boat sounds like an interesting proposition, and if you’re looking for a quick, fun, and very entertaining read, then you will probably like this free short story.
