Drew Tao is loving life. His pack is happy. And it’s time for the holidays. But his mate is keeping secrets and there is a crazy mother bear circling his borders. Can they survive the holidays or will everything fall apart?

All Drew wants is a happy pack, a healthy and prosperous pack. He has made great strides and with Winter Solstice approaching, he agrees that wolf and human should have a celebration. It would encompass all the holidays celebrated by the humans in his pack. Even the Solstice run would have the humans included.

A toy train mysteriously appears in the square, no scent or tracks to suggest who put it there. The toy is the work of someone gone from the pack for two decades, kicked out by Magnum for some unknown offense. Stewart now lives on Mount Carter, a hundred miles away. Drew wants answers so he will go up the mountain to get them, much to  his mate’s and enforcer’s chagrin.

His mate Betty has issues. While she loves him I don’t feel she is doing the things an Alpha’s mate should do to make the pack stronger and more unified.

By issuing an invite for all former pack to come and blood oath to him, he has made Ryker’s job harder. There needs to be more screening of those returning.

The trip up the mountain is not without incident, a Mother bear and her cub, begin causing havoc.

My favorite line in this story comes from Betty after Stewart expresses his desire to deliver gifts for the pack’s children.

“He can be Santa Paws.” B giggled.

Relationship issues of the Alpha pair need to be resolved as well. For this holiday to be the bonding that Drew wants it to be, things must be handle quickly and with diplomacy.

A fast paced, read with love, hot sex, friendship and angst.

Yes, Santa Paws is coming to town.

5 Contented Purrs for Rebecca!

Rebecca Royce

As a teenager, I would hide in my room to read my favorite romance novels when I was supposed to be doing my homework. I hope, these days, that my parents think it was worth it.

I am the mother of three adorable boys and I am fortunate to be married to my best friend. I live in Austin Texas where I am determined to eat all the barbecue in town.

I am in love with science fiction, fantasy, and the paranormal and try to use all of these elements in my writing. I’ve been told I’m a little bloodthirsty so I hope that when you read my work you’ll enjoy the action packed ride that always ends in romance. I love to write series because I love to see characters develop over time and it always makes me happy to see my favorite characters make guest appearances in other books.

In my world anything is possible, anything can happen, and you should suspect that it will.

I’d love to hear from you!

Cheers!!
