This Christmas, the best gift comes with the scent of cinnamon and a baker who’s given up on love.
Zale steps off a bus in December with nothing but a duffel bag and a need to escape his family’s mating plans.
The last thing he needs is another complication, especially not a grumpy alpha baker who makes his wolf sit up and beg. Hawthorn has sworn off relationships.
The bakery is his life, and no one can handle being second to sourdough starter and 2 a.m. wake-up calls. But when Zale asks for a job during the Christmas rush, Hawthorn agrees.
Working together in the quiet pre-dawn hours, surrounded by the scent of rising bread and cinnamon, makes it hard to remember why they’re both fighting what their wolves already know.
With every brush of hands and stolen glance, Zale fits into Hawthorn’s life like he was always meant to be there.
This is a small-town Christmas mpreg romance with shifters who resist what their wolves tell them, a sunshine omega who thaws a grumpy heart, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
