Shattered Christmas Cougar

This Christmas, they'll break each other's hearts.
Or mend them.

Carol is a burned-out VA nurse, home for the holidays and serving as unpaid labor at her family's Christmas tree farm and vacation cottage rental business. Most importantly, she's trying to forget her attraction to a patient she thought she left behind ... until he turns up on her family's Christmas tree farm.

He's everything she ever dreamed of, and everything she can't let herself have without risking the life she's begun to rebuild.

Solution: manufacture a fake engagement to keep him (and her family) at arm's length. That'll work great, right?

Justin and his cougar are struggling to adjust to life as a disabled veteran shifter. His plan to spend Christmas recuperating quietly in a lovely rural cottage falls apart when he finds out his hostess is the nurse he knew only as Angel.

And then an ice storm hits, and no one is going to be going anywhere until after Christmas. Now they're snowed in together, helping the family put together a makeshift holiday, and struggling to keep each other at arm's length while they slowly work their way toward the missing ingredient in their holiday dream come true.

A standalone holiday HEA shifter romance with a snowed in couple, a big loving family who can't stay out of their business, and a dash of danger.
