Dean Romero is not your average Tiger Shifter. He is the king or the Neta of the Island Stripe Pride, operating out of Manhattan. Wanting to avoid the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, this Neta elects to spend Christmas at his newly built cabin in a remote section of the Pine Barrens just outside of Maccon City, New Jersey. A town notorious among supernaturals for its Shifter ties. Violet Martinez is a nail technician stuck working on the holidays. Asked to make a house call she has no choice but to drive to an important client’s house on Christmas Eve. She’d much rather be at home curled up with her favorite mug full of steaming spiked hot chocolate and a marathon of old black and white movies to keep her company. Resigned to her fate, she heads out in the wintry weather which has made the drive nearly impossible. Halfway there, Violet’s car spins out on a lonely stretch of road and she slams into a tree, hitting her head on the dashboard. Passing out in the cold with a head injury was not on Violet’s Christmas list, but good thing there’s a Tiger king who just happens to be out for a run nearby. When Dean gets a whiff of Violet’s sugar cookie scent all bets are off. This Neta wants her for his own, but will the dark-haired beauty accept him and agree to be his bride this Christmas? 

Island Stripe Pride

“Mara! I am leaving with the Carlson’s order,” Toni called out from the back door. 


“Wait! You forgot the juice boxes,” Mara, Toni’s younger sister, and her partner in Any Time Eats Diner & Catering, came running with three cases of juice boxes in hand. 


“Oh crap,” Toni said, snorting and shaking her head. “I did forget. Thank you.” 


“No problem. You have everything else you need for their party? I gotta say I love the idea of a Kindergarten social for the little guys before school starts,” Mara said, looking over the contents of the delivery van to make sure Toni had everything she needed. 


“Me too. It gives them a chance to get to know each other first,” Toni replied, allowing her sister to double check her work.
