Mate Wanted for Christmas

By Angelique Voisen

For the last decade, bear shifter Pat Singer posted a specific want ad in the December newspaper. Each year, Pat gets the same response—zero. Except this year’s different. Finally, someone agrees to role-play Pat’s dead mate.

Spending Christmas Eve with a rich psycho shifter might seem unreasonable to some. To survive the harsh winter, former soldier Jacob Reynolds has no choice but to turn to desperate measures...except Pat Singer isn’t the crazy bastard Jacob imagines him to be.

The sexy, but reluctant werebear pushes all of Jacob’s right buttons, and if Jacob doesn’t guard his heart, he might end up getting burned.

Pat

I don’t remember tossing the alarm clock with such force it shattered to a hundred pieces, but I hear the sound. Groaning, I turn in my sheets. With winter approaching, all my grizzly wants is to stay indoors and hibernate in peace.

But there are things I need to do, I growl.

Untrue, but my therapist tells me I need to utter those words each day so I won’t start losing the will to live.
