Santa arrived early for J.D. McNamara and brought her the best gift of all - her own fated mate. Polar bear shifter Cameron Spenser checks off everything on her list: sexy as sin, hot as hell, and a dynamite in the sack. There's just one little problem: he hates Christmas. But that's not going to stop the feisty feline shifter. No siree, she's going to pull out all the stops to bring holiday joy to her Scrooge of a mate and show him the true meaning of Christmas. Decorations? Presents? Santa and his reindeer? Bah-humbug and good riddance. That's what Dr. Cam Spenser thinks of Christmas. The holidays were never a happy time for him and that wasn't going to change--that is, until he meets his mate. J.D. is a breath of fresh air, the one person who was determined enough to melt his cold heart and pierce through the wall he's built up all these years. However, there may not be a Christmas future for them as Cam's real life obligations are revealed and his time in Blackstone comes to an end. Can they find a way to make their relationship work and form the mating bond or will their differences pull them apart?
