Connor Rudina plays football for the Alaska Bloodhounds, and he's hired me to take care of his daughter. I might have a crush on the wolf, but he keeps things strictly professional.

Until he asks me to go with them to Sawtooth Forest for Christmas.

It will be a tough trip for both of us—Connor lost his mate and it will be his first time home, and I got rejected by my pack. If it wasn't for this invitation, I would've spent the holiday alone.

I know I'm just there to help with his daughter, but when get snowed in on a layover before we get to Sawtooth, everything changes.

This holiday season, the wolf of Christmas future will show me what forever really means.
