Snowbound with a Jaguar

A sun-loving jaguar shifter stuck in a snowbound German castle for the winter. A sensible Pennsylvania witch sent to mend ancient wards before the solstice. A holiday blizzard, a one-room cottage, and a dark mage hunting her rare gift.

Clara Perkins crossed an ocean with her grandmother's old folk magic and a firm plan to go home when her training was done. The ancient signs guarding the castle grounds came from the same craft her family had kept for generations, and they were failing. Worse, someone had been testing them, and the magic he left behind belonged to a family of demon summoners.

Bryant Eddings came from Jaguar Island to study the castle's training program and spent most of his time complaining about the cold. Then a plain-spoken farm girl walked into the great hall, and his jaguar went perfectly still. When an early blizzard stranded them overnight in an old cottage at the edge of the grounds, Bryant knew exactly what she was to him. Clara had a choice to make, and a stranger in the woods was waiting for her to step outside the wards.

Perfect for readers who love steamy Christmas shifter romance, snowed-in forced proximity, fated mates with a protective jaguar hero, and a cozy castle holiday with real danger waiting at the edge of the woods.
