Mike Green isn't having a stellar December. It's pretty boring in DC and he's single again. While he's staving off boredom, and chasing after mythical gigantic snakes, he meets a strangely dressed woman. It's not love at first sight, it's not even lust at first sight but a curiosity is lit that threatens to start a fire. Mike Green is about to learn that heaven could never describe what it's like to fall in love.

A plucky anthropologist. A locked-out hockey player. Life lessons and love on the Mall.

Side-note: Had to up this to NC-17. I normally don't write sex scenes. Mike Green made me do it.
