He's the grumpiest alien dragon shifter this side of the galaxy, and the last thing he wants for Christmas is a fated mate.

With my fellow humans all safely coupled up with their Sarkarnii mates, I have a growing problem. I'm pregnant.

So I insisted on being left on Kitchik, a tiny planet where the weather has already taken a turn for the worse. As the snow falls and I try to get used to my new existence and impending birth, I run into Drekkan.

Big, bad, fire breathing Drekkan. He's been marooned on Kitchik for too long and all he wants to do is cause trouble. Plus, he hates the winter solstice celebration which is just about to take place.

Thing is, I love a bad boy, and Drekkan is as bad as they come. But he wouldn't want a pregnant human with no home to speak of...and who loves Christmas as much as he hates it...would he?
