Harlow’s friends call her pixie dust, because of her relentless optimism. It’s no surprise that when sexy Sawyer and his dazzling, festive shifter clan hurtles into her world, she’s eager to help him light up her town and its people.

As Mistletoe Hollow begins to emerge from its long hibernation, and the dark, dingy streets start to glow with Christmas cheer, can Sawyer and Harlow trust that the magic that’s happening between them is meant to last forever?
