Holidays stink when you're alone, but the only woman Tristan ever cared for betrayed him years ago. Sucker that he is, Tristan teleports another Alterant to Atlanta in December so the guy can propose to his girlfriend, and walks straight into an ambush ...along with the woman Tristan vowed would pay for his five years of imprisonment. Now he has to choose between saving her and losing his freedom forever, but once he has her back in his arms, no one else is going to touch her.
