Aveda Vice

They say the abandoned Christmas tree farm is haunted. Just Rowen’s luck that she gets stranded there on the drive to visit her overbearing mother…not that Rowen would complain. It’s easier not to rock the boat, even if her jaw aches from a life spent biting her tongue. When she stumbles across Asher, the farm’s surly caretaker and her former flame, things are anything but easy. Getting snowed in together opens old wounds, and the past ten years have done nothing to quell the heat between them. But Asher has a secret lurking in the woods. It watches and waits for a chance to sink its teeth into Rowen. Asher has to do everything they can to protect her, even if it means pushing her away again. As cursed Christmas Eve approaches, Rowen and Asher must finally face their fears or let love slip away for good. For fans of Rien Gray, this story of healing and hunger is the perfect mix of winter chill, holiday warmth, and sultry heat.

Her pack is destroyed. Her Alpha is dead. All that Pheir has left is rage. And the Conclave doesn’t trust she won’t seek revenge...for good reason.

The only problem is, Pheir’s escorts would rather kill her than transport her. Caius still has scars from Pheir’s talons, and Aren can only keep his composure for so long. But the leftover energy from battle runs hot between all three of them. And if Pheir can use that distracting desire to make her escape...how deep is the line between lust and hate, anyway?
