Hever remembers every detail of her life. From the moment she woke in the lab to the moment they removed her wings and left her for dead. Being found and adopted changed her life and set a lot of things in motion.

Working for Z-Corp as a practical equipment developer is fine, but Hever's an omega, and twice a year she needs a tune-up of her own. She becomes an escort for the BDC and gets one regular patron. He's not very good, but he's not bad, and that is good enough.

A week before the holidays, Hever's world explodes. Well, it is actually her foyer, but she is inside it, so she takes it personally. A brief kidnapping, an embarrassingly populated rescue, and she is back home in the arms of her patron and her extended family destroying the facility and staff linked to her kidnapping.

Her patron quickly morphs into a boyfriend, and her mother authorizes his attentions. From there, it is a whirlwind of marked improvement in his bedroom skills and a desire to answer his questions about forever with a resounding yes. She always loved being with someone around the holidays.
