See You at the Summit
by Jordyn Taylor
Simone Whittaker has spent the first three decades of her life pretending to be straight. But when the girl she never dared call her girlfriend walks away, she decides she's done living in fear. Her uptight parents don't take the news well, but a viral coming-out post and a new job at Toronto's Rainbow Museum offer a fresh start--and a crash course in queer adulthood. That is, until her first day of work, when Simone ruins a project designed by Ryan Foley--the museum's gruff and annoyingly hot carpenter--earning her the top spot on his enemies list. When they're forced to take a work trip to the Whistler Pride and Ski Festival together, Simone vows not to let a grumpy straight guy ruin her first Pride. But Ryan keeps surprising her--thoughtful, vulnerable, and impossible to ignore. As sparks fly on chairlifts and by crackling fires, one snowstorm--and one bed--changes everything. Back in Toronto, however, reality sets in. Dating a guy--and being mistaken for straight--weren't exactly part of Simone's coming-out plan. As the pressure builds between the identity she's just beginning to explore and the relationship that wasn't supposed to happen, she starts to wonder: What if claiming one part of herself means erasing the other?
