The Knotty Clause
Can a single mother create some holiday magic for a reclusive alien warrior?
Lured by the promise of steady work, Gemma accepts a job at a remote mining claim, only to find that both she and her young son are virtual slaves to the greedy mine boss. When a desperate attempt to escape finds them caught in an unexpected snowstorm, she thinks all is lost - until a very large and very not-human male appears and rescues them.
Their savior is gruff, reclusive, and unexpectedly kind. He offers them a refuge - as long as they don’t intrude on his privacy. He even draws up a contract, but the longer they stay with him, the more Gemma wants to break every one of his rules.
Ever since his ship crashed on K.R.S. Three, Yede has concealed himself in his mountaintop hideaway. A life alone with his memories is better than risking more heartbreak - until he rescues a fragile, tempting human woman and her determined little boy from a snowstorm. Now the icy walls around his heart - and other important parts - are beginning to thaw. Can he find the courage to take a second chance on love, despite the risks?
This sweet and steamy holiday romance features a clever and resourceful heroine, a not-as-reluctant-as-he-seems hero, an irresistible little boy, and all the warmth of the holiday season. Not to mention enough long, sweet, lickable... candy canes to satisfy your every craving! (Intended for mature audiences.)

Reviews and Comments
This is the fourth book in the Horned Holidays series and I am glad to say it lived up to my expectations after the first three. I loved getting to know Yede and Gemma as well as Gemma's son Liam in this story and thought they made a cute family. I was happy with how everything worked out for all the characters in this story and thought the epilogue was really nice, including the drop in from Krampusarian from Krampus and the Crone. I look forward to reading many more books by this author in the future and maybe even another in this series.
I received a free advanced reader copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.
