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

Bruno was still scratching his head after the little hellion in Bunny’s clothing ran into him, then out the door like her cutesy little cottontail was on fire. 


Minga, was she cute! Cute and completely flabbergasting. The female drove his Cat bonkers. He spent half his time pining for her, and the other half scratching his head, wondering how to talk to her. 


Bruno didn’t know what he did to make Mara Casabella hate his guts, but the sexy little Shifter acted like he had cooties—the catching kind that no one wanted. 


Hell, he’d never felt as low as he did when the little beauty reared back from his touch like he was contagious. Fucking hell, that hurt. No woman had ever responded like that to him. Why the hell would they? Bruno was a nice guy, for fuck’s sake. 


Plus, he was pretty decent to look at. He took extra care with his grooming—daily showers and shaves. He wore deodorant daily. One that was light on fragrance because his animal was sensitive about that kind of thing.
