After the death of his father, David Drigan wonders if he's strong enough to lead his werewolf pack. Then he meets Kelsey. Blonde. Curvy. Attitude. She makes David's beast surface like never before. Even when she argues with him. When Kelsey learns about David's beast, she has to decide if she wants to live in his shadow. Can they find the light, lost in the dark?

There are mythicals and monsters. Which kind wants her dead? There was a time Marissa van Dyke loved Halloween. Then tragedy struck. Now the sight of a jack-o-lantern only reminds her of what she’s lost. In fact, she’d prefer to just hibernate. But recently her nightmares are becoming too intense to ignore. Dreams filled with horror-movie creatures that come closer to killing her every time. Where these vampires and werewolves are coming from, she doesn’t know. She only knows they’re relentless. Neil Drigan has no interest in finding a mate. Bind himself to one woman? No thank you. Permanent is for the wolf pack Alpha–his brother. Yet lately he persistently dreams about running, in full wolf form, to save a beautiful woman who smells of flowers–and death. At first the woman’s identity is a mystery, until he realizes the dreams are a residual imprint of something that really happened. Not only is the woman temptation wrapped in real flesh and blood, she’s still in danger. And the one thing he never thought he wanted.

Saving her from her curse is a gentleman's job. He, however, is no gentleman. Ruthie, cursed by a djinn, has been trapped in a recipe box for seventy-five years, and this Christmas is her last chance to break the curse. She assumes when Lee Reynolds opens the box, he will help her escape the djinn’s magic. Because that's what a gentleman does. She learns very quickly, though, that Lee is no gentleman. Unlike the Drigan werewolves, Lee is tormented by his wolf-side. Nightmares plague him, leaving him barely civilized most days. It takes all his control to work as a sous chef, but cooking is really the only thing that has ever soothed him. Then Ruthie pops out of his grandmother’s recipe box. And his wolf side becomes positively beastly. This story originally appeared in the USA Today Bestselling anthology A Very Alpha Christmas
