Mads + Odessa = 4EVAExcept forever ended when Mads kissed Odessa, bit her and then ghosted her. Twelve years later, he's back and looking to pick up where they left off. Um, no thank you. Odessa has more to think about than her own heart. She's now a single mom and can't afford to get involved with a man with a track record of vanishing. It doesn't matter that he's haunted her dreams for years. Or that when they're together, she feels like she can finally breathe. And it certainly doesn't matter that her traitorous body craves his touch.Besides, Mads hoards secrets like they're made of chocolate. One, he's an alien shifter. Like he turns into a reindeer with antlers and everything.Two, that bite made them bonded mates. And the third secret is the most dangerous of all. How can they have a second-chance at love when the sins of the past threaten to tear them apart?The authors of Starr Huntress were given a challenge: give readers a reindeer shifter in your holiday story. We all agreed to call our shifters "reilendeer" and decided they bring good cheer to the world around them... and then we went crazy! You might notice differences about the world and abilities of the reilendeer from story to story, and that's because each author has put her own spin on the challenge. Now it's time to grab your eggnog, cuddle up by the fire, and enjoy these steamy alien shifters.
