Matched to the Alien Rancher at Christmas

All she wanted for Christmas was a second chance. What she got was a grumpy alien rancher who voted against allowing humans into his colony.

Juniper thought signing up for the Mate Program would give her a fresh start. Instead, she's been assigned to Goraath—a massive, scarred rancher on the most isolated homestead on the planet. He made it clear he doesn't want her here. Doesn't want anyone here.

But it's Christmas, and Juni's not about to let a grumpy alien steal her joy.

Goraath spent years building walls—around his ranch, around his heart. The last thing he needs is a tiny human female hanging decorations, humming carols, and making his empty house feel like a home.

Worse, she makes him want things he buried long ago.

When a stampede nearly kills her, his carefully controlled life shatters. One desperate kiss changes everything. And Juni realizes the most dangerous thing on this frozen frontier isn't the wildlife.

It's falling for a warrior who's forgotten how to hope.

He's given up on miracles. She's about to show him one.
