A fake relationship with a stranger. An office romance with doughnuts and white knights. An addictive arrangement—friends with benefits—fast turns to love.
Jonah Gray is rich, successful, and the most eligible bachelor in the city, according to his mother, at least. But the truth is, despite her efforts to pair him off, he’s fine on his own. All he needs is a date to the Christmas ball.
Sacha Ivanov is a lone wolf, content in the cycle of long days, late nights, and anonymous hook ups, but when a chance encounter in a broken-down lift brings a gorgeous copper-haired CEO into his life, everything begins to change.
As Christmas fast approaches, a favour for a stranger blooms into something more. He doesn’t do second dates or relationships. But for kind-hearted Jonah, his angel in the city, he might just change his mind.
Angels in the City is a Christmas themed MM friends-to-lovers, forced proximity, office romance. Expect fraught days, steamy nights, and true love built around festive snacks and Christmas trees.
Garrett's debut novel, Slide, won Best Bisexual Debut at the 2014 Rainbow Book Awards, and her polyamorous novel, Misfits was a finalist in the 2016 LAMBDA awards.
When not writing, Garrett can generally be found procrastinating on Twitter, cooking up a storm, or sitting on her behind doing as little as possible, all the while shouting at her menagerie of children and animals and attempting to tame her unruly and wonderful FOX.
Garrett is also an award winning cover artist, taking the silver medal at the Benjamin Franklin Book Awards in 2016. She designs for various publishing houses and independent authors at blackjazzdesign.com, and co-owns the specialist stock site moonstockphotography.com with renowned LGBTQA+ photographer Dan Burgess.

Whenever
I read a Garrett Leigh book I know I get powerful and provocative
writing and characters. Add to it a Christmas theme and I know with 100% assuredness
that the story line will leave me wanting more. Angels in the City was
just that. To coin this book as a feel-good holiday story would not do it
justice. It was a powerful story of a flawed yet formidable man, Sasha, who
found something more than what he bargained for.
Sasha
and Jonah worked in the same building, yet really never ran into each other
until a brief interlude on the elevator led to a fake date at a ballroom party,
and then …..beyond.
Ms.
Leigh
can write dark and flawed characters and Sasha fit the bill. His slight
egocentrism, his Russian accent-which I heard in my head- and his cavalier
attitude, gave him an air of pompous ass with a sinister past and I loved him!
This man captured my attention, as he did Jonah’s.
Jonah
was rich, intelligent, and sensitive. He also fell hard for the Russian and
jumped with both feet first. Their relationship started out purely sexual, but
soon turned introspective as it evolved. The characterization flourished and Ms.
Leigh once again delivered a story worth reading. I was so enthralled that I
wanted to dive in the pages of the book and become a part of the story. My only
drawback, I wanted more. More Sasha and Jonah. More pages to the book. More,
more, more to come because this reader needs a book 2, and maybe a book 3. Ms.
Leigh turned my brain inside out, that in my mind’s eye the world she
created in one story became a series.
Thank
you, Garrett Leigh, for creating the book that reached top three on my
reading list of M/M romance.
