When Omega Lily Evans returns to her hometown for Christmas after five years away, she brings more than just gifts; she is parenting Alpha Dominic Stone's secret kid, the man who destroyed her heart. Everyone knows Dominic never sleeps with the same woman again, but he couldn't get away from Lily until he unexpectedly married someone else. Lily has forged a new life as a respected defense attorney, but fate has other plans when she realizes her true match is Dominic's cousin, Ethan, a charming hockey star with his own holiday traumas. As the holiday season pulls them together, Dominic learns about Lily's return and the child he never knew existed. With two men vying for her heart - one by former passion and one by genuine mate link - Lily must pick her path while protecting her daughter. Will Christmas magic mend old wounds, or will ancient werewolf traditions rip them apart?
