Alexis Gray has always found escape in her dream lover. He is wild, almost primal in his cravings, but gentle and sensual at the same time. Whenever she needs him, he is there. Her salvation. Her friend. Her lover. As crazy as she knows the idea, she often wishes he would come to her, to find his way to physical form. For Alexis is different from the others around her, and she knows it. Yet with her dream lover she finds a sense of unity.

On Christmas Eve, Alexis encounters something dark and menacing, an evil stalking her. As she battles this darkness, she comes face to face with her dream lover who claims he is the king of a distant planet and she is his mate. Her planet as well. There is a deadly enemy who wants to stop their mating. Her Christmas King claims he kept her hidden on earth until their mating could be safely achieved. Now is that time. All Alexis has to do is give in to the absoluteness of her cravings for this man.
