Hudson Jolly is, ironically, the biggest Scrooge in Merryville, but I'm not intimidated. He warns me to stay away from him. However, I'm convinced he's playing reindeer games. When I learn he's searching for a nanny, I offer to help. Out of desperation, he hires me. That's his first mistake.

A prophecy claims I will sit on the ruined throne, but the last thing I need is the dead weight of a crown on my head. Nothing matters to me but Pyrah. My dragon shifter mate brings light to the otherwise dark gloom of my life. I would do anything to protect her. But another dragon stalks Pyrah, hungering to make her his own.

I might have given in to my desires, but I refuse to let this change things between us. I know that Gabe will convince himself that staying with me is the right thing to do.
