An Unexpected Christmas

ELLA

You know when you reach the end of your rope, and you snap, and you make an impulsive decision that changes your entire life? That's where I'm at. I'm standing in the aftermath of that single, drunken, Hallmark-inspired decision, and it's nothing like I imagined. It's better in some ways and worse in others, and it all has me feeling like an extra curvy mess – and not the hot kind either. I have no money, no job, and no one to call…

…until Noah Shenan walks into my life.

NOAH

I've been the single playboy for years, because as the Alpha, shifter females wanted status and human females wanted a trophy plus my credit card, but my wolf never allowed it. He's hated every female I entertained, except Ella Parks. But my mate is the one female who isn't impressed by my looks, my title, or my money. In fact, she's a serious flight risk, which scares the hell out of me and my wolf. I'm having to pursue her, which is something I've never done. But damn if there's not a thrill to this chase.

It's the holiday season, a time for joy, family, and miracles. It's the season of possibilities, and damn am I hoping for the impossible, the unexpected, and all the other mushy crap I never put stock in. Because she's different, in all the right ways, and if I can just open her eyes to the truth of that, then maybe both of our dreams can come true this Christmas.
