A cozy, high-heat holiday paranormal romcom full of snowstorms, forced proximity, fated mates, and a grumpy wolf who can’t get enough of the fox who drives him wild.

Emme Lark has sworn off the Festival of Lights and all the fated mate nonsense that comes with it. After one humiliating Solstice shattered her trust, she’d rather spend the season with cocoa, sweets, and her best defense mechanism: sarcasm. But when a favor for her grandmother ends with a snowmobile wreck and a surprise blizzard, Emme stumbles straight into the path of something far more irresistible than fate.

West Mercer walked away from his wolf pack, his past, and his destiny years ago. Solitude suits him just fine, and the last thing he wants is a sarcastic fox shifter in a sparkly pink parka turning his quiet cabin into a holiday movie. Emme talks too much. Her cocoa is too sweet. She leaves glitter on his floor. And her scent? Impossible to ignore.

With only one bed, a snowy winter storm, and enough sugary sweet Solstice magick in the air to melt even the frostiest hearts, Emme and West can’t keep their hands—or their hearts—to themselves. When it comes to love at the Solstice, fate always finds a way.

One fox. One wolf. And only one way to keep warm.
