Barnaby Sloan and his boyfriend, Liam, are trying to be more open and communicative and tell each other everything. With New Year's Eve approaching, Liam invites Barnaby to join him at the museum's New Year's Eve party. At first, Barnaby is hesitant because he knows his ex-boyfriend, Xander, will probably be there. Still, his desire to please Liam overrules his worry about the temptation Xander may present.

At the party, everything seems to be going well until Barnaby meets Jared, Liam's cute new secretary and Jared's date, Xander. Xander makes no secret that he still wants Barnaby. Shaken by the encounter with Xander, Barnaby lashes out at Liam and seeks comfort elsewhere in the museum.

New Year's Eve is a time for new beginnings. Can Barnaby resist the temptation to return to old habits?

It's Halloween, and Barnaby and his friends plan to do their usual Halloween ghost walk at a local park that is rumored to be haunted. Barnaby worries his new boyfriend, Liam, will find their plans ridiculous. Barnaby doesn't believe in ghosts but invites Liam to join them on the ghost walk anyway.

While their friends scare each other at the park, Barnaby confides in Liam about why he doesn't believe in an afterlife. Then Barnaby hears a familiar voice whispering his name--and of course, he must investigate…

Barnaby Sloan usually spends the holidays with his aunt Vianne, but changes in her life and his roommate's relationship cause Barnaby to reconsider his plans. His boyfriend, Liam, invites Barnaby to join him at his family's home, but Barnaby is too uncertain about his future with Liam to accept. He decides to spend the holidays alone instead, working on his dissertation and volunteering at his favorite museum.

A snowstorm hits, knocking out the power throughout the city. Between the snow, the solitude, and nothing going according to plan, Barnaby realizes all he wants for Christmas is Liam--but it would take a miracle for him to get that wish.

Barnaby Sloan doesn't believe in magic. His life is ordinary in every possible way: grad school, volunteering, and spending time with his friends. He has a crush on the museum director where he volunteers, Liam Morrison, but has never allowed himself to believe it could become anything more. What could a man like Liam see in somebody as ordinary as him?

Barnaby's beloved aunt gives him a leather-bound journal for his twenty-fifth birthday. Since it's his birthday and people expect him to have wishes, Barnaby writes his wishes in the journal: that he could go to Egypt with his archaeologist aunt, work at the museum permanently, and share his life with Liam.

Barnaby Sloan is about to learn that magic happens everywhere, sometimes in the smallest of ways.
