AxelIt was meant to be a quick conference. I was supposed to be there to represent the Black Valley Wolf Pack. I wasn’t expecting to challenge anyone or change a whole system of corruption and evil embedded in the most deranged and depraved pact in the region. That was before I saw her. My mate. Now I would burn the whole world and everyone who stood in my way to make her mine.

The second her uncle decided to scheme me out of my billion-dollar company with a game of blackmail I knew she would be mine to protect, to love, and to possess. No one can stay innocent forever and tonight I will be the one to make her every dirty Christmas wish come true. Now and forever. Author's naughty note: Naughty and nice, oh-so-hot with a side of sweet so good your teeth will ache. Quick, filthy, over-the-top Christmas romance with a HEA & NO CHEATING!
