Joy isn't exactly living up to her name lately. This stressed-out squirrel shifter is on a constant treadmill, struggling to pay the bills and raise her younger sister. Christmas at a beautiful mountain lodge sounds like exactly the medicine to cure her winter blues. But Fated Mountain Lodge isn't having a merry Christmas either. The heat's out, a blizzard has stranded everyone, and the lodge's very existence is threatened in a hostile takeover by a billionaire dragon shifter developer. Who turns out to be Joy's fated mate.

He takes care of other people's kids...but he craves a family of his own. Enter a single mom waitress with a broken heart and a whole lot of trouble behind her.

Now I'm working in a small-town coffee shop, learning about human inventions like buses and microwaves (and my new favorite thing, hot chocolate). And I met my fated mate. He's kind. He's protective. He's great with my little kids. There's just one problem: the first time I touched him, my exile mark felt like it was on fire—and not in the good way.

Once, music-loving Esme and proud clanlord Heikon were each other's everything. She danced only for him, and his love was the song that filled her world. And then a single act of treachery destroyed it all, their mate bond severed beyond repair. Esme retreated to her dance studio and music hoard to salve her broken heart. But Heikon believes some part of him still lives in her soul. There must be a way to fix it, to somehow win her back. If he can only figure out the steps of the dance that will make them true mates and partners again.
