After a day of grueling Christmas shopping, all Terra Gillead wants to do is survive the winter storm she's driving through. With her secluded home only a few miles away, she is stunned to come across a man lying injured in the middle of the icy road. Her cell phone powerless and the snow falling ever faster, Terra must take the gorgeous stranger home in order to save his life.

Cassius del Morte has waited fifty-seven years to find his mate. Upon waking on Terra's couch, he knows immediately that she is the one. If he can just get her to accept his…unique nature, Christmas might come a bit early this year. For both of them.
