The rules of Christmas • You must be an injured veteran. • You must be a shifter. • You must have nowhere else to go for Christmas. But the most important rule is... Rule #1: Don't date the Colonel's daughter. After losing her big-city job, Holly ends up home for the holidays helping her retired military dad run the family's Christmas tree farm and B&B. Every Christmas, her dad opens up the ranch to wounded soldiers who have nowhere else to go. This Christmas, their only guest is Jace, a wolf shifter wounded in soul and body. But in spite of his prickly exterior and defensive sarcasm, Holly quickly finds herself falling for his dynamite sex appeal and clear green eyes that seem to see through her. But Holly is coming off a bad relationship, and one thing has been drilled into her by her military do not fall for the wounded warriors on the ranch. Now if she could just convince her traitorous heart that Jace is bad news. Jace knows he has nothing to offer. He's broken and unemployed, he can't even shift, and all he can do is hold beautiful, dynamic Holly at arm's length. But with the Christmas tree farm in financial trouble and Holly's abusive ex stalking her, Jace realizes that he and his wolf will never walk away. Not while she needs him. Not even if it means facing down his deepest fears—and her terrifying bear-shifter dad. Wounded Christmas Wolf is a spicy shifter standalone, with a protective wounded hero, a tough heroine who holds him at arm's length to protect her heart, and a scenic snow-covered Christmas tree farm with cute dogs and an adorable tiny house B&B. Come home to Christmas Ranch for the holidays!
