📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

A holiday anthology featuring two paranormal romance novellas by Lynsay Sands and Jeaniene Frost.

The volume presents two distinct narratives centered on immortal beings navigating Christmas traditions. Sands' section focuses on Katricia Argeneau and Teddy Brunswick, whose life mate bond is tested during a snowbound cabin stay. The narrative emphasizes the need for persuasion and connection in a confined space. Frost's section follows Cat and Bones as they attempt to maintain holiday normalcy while confronting external threats. An evil vampire and hidden family secrets disrupt their plans to decorate and exchange gifts. Both stories highlight the contrast between supernatural existence and human seasonal customs. The anthology structure allows readers to experience different aspects of immortal life during the holidays. It does not offer a continuous plot but rather separate vignettes that celebrate familiar characters in festive scenarios.
