THE HOWL BENEATH THE MISTLETOE
READING AGE 16+
On Christmas Eve, Aurora Hart’s world shatters when she catches her fiancé in the arms of another woman. Heartbroken and furious, she flees into an Aspen blizzard wearing nothing but the emerald dress meant for a proposal that will never happen.She collapses at an ancient rune-stone buried in the snow… and the mountain itself answers.A man steps out of the storm (tall, scarred, silver-eyed) and wraps her in a coat that brands a glowing mate-mark on her skin. Lucien Vale is the Alpha of a hidden werewolf pack, and for months he has been dream-walking to the lonely woman fate chose as his Luna. The veil between worlds only opened because her heart broke hard enough to pay the price in tears.Now a supernatural blizzard (engineered by a cult that wants every mate-bond destroyed) traps them together in Lucien’s remote lodge until New Year’s Eve. If the bond isn’t sealed beneath the Winter Solstice aurora, Aurora will freeze from the inside out, no matter how many fires Lucien builds.Between cinnamon-roll mornings, ice-skating disasters, midnight confessions under the northern lights, and a pack that adopts her whether she likes it or not, Aurora has ten days to decide: walk away and live a normal, safe, lonely life or bind herself forever to a werewolf Alpha who would burn the world to keep her warm.A heart-wrenching, snow-soaked slow-burn about grief, belonging, and finding home in the last place you expected, exactly when you need it most.
