When Lara follows two turtledoves into the woods, she expects to die. Instead, she finds two gorgeous shifters who are hot enough to die for.
When Lara’s car breaks down, she starts walking, even when logic dictates she stay with her car. After walking for miles in the cold Scottish Highlands in December, she follows a pair of unlikely prophets in the form of turtledoves into the woods. Why not? The way she figures it, she’s dead anyway.
When Duncan and Jamie follow two turtledoves who just won’t take no for an answer, they find the most beautiful woman they have ever seen, sleeping as though she were some fairytale princess.
A snowstorm, two rescues and an unexpected infant later, they all must decide if they belong together or if this was nothing more than a holiday filled with magic.

Beary Merry Xmas
By
Tianna Xander
To everyone who believes in holiday magic, miracles and love at first sight. Never let the hardening of your heart close your eyes to the infinite possibilities in our world.
Chapter One
The sky was a clear midnight blue. The stars shone through the night sky’s dark blanket like glittering sea foam on moon-swept waves. A cold and bitter breeze seeped through Lara’s coat as she trudged through the snow crunching beneath her feet. For a moment, she glanced back to where she left her car, an inner voice telling her to go back and stay near her vehicle, but Lara knew better.
She grew up in an area just like this one. That it wasn’t in the same country didn’t matter. The story always remained the same. Small towns meant early bedtimes and little chance for rescue on cold, dark roads this late at night. Walking was her best choice. The farther she walked, the better her chances of finding someone’s home, even here in the Highlands, homes in the country were few and far between.
A gust of freezing wind swept down off the mountain behind her, chilling her to the bone. Lara jammed her hands in her pockets and stepped up her pace. She would be in a lot of trouble if it decided to precipitate. Being cold was one thing. Being cold and wet was another matter entirely.
A noise drew her attention and she looked up to the trees at her right. Two snow white birds sat perched on the branch of a giant fir. Icicles clung to the branches, coating nearly every needle with a fine sheen. The tree sparkled, the ice giving the appearance of millions of tiny diamonds in the light of the full moon. One of the birds cooed, again drawing her attention.
“What are you two doing out here?” As cold as she was, Lara still managed to smile up at the two white birds. They looked like turtledoves. She frowned. It was winter. They shouldn’t be out in the cold, should they? Weren’t turtledoves supposed to be extinct, or was that some other kind of bird?
