Full Synopsis
Joy isn't exactly living up to her name lately.

This stressed-out squirrel shifter is on a constant treadmill, struggling to pay the bills and raise her younger sister.

Christmas at a beautiful mountain lodge sounds like exactly the medicine to cure her winter blues.

But Fated Mountain Lodge isn't having a merry Christmas either. The heat's out, a blizzard has stranded everyone, and the lodge's very existence is threatened in a hostile takeover by a billionaire dragon shifter developer.

Who turns out to be Joy's fated mate.

Now, with the fate of the lodge on the line, Joy has the holiday weekend to show this sexy Scrooge the true meaning of Christmas, or it's not going to be a holly jolly holiday for anyone.

And it turns out that he might be exactly what she needs, too.
