Clarice is organizing the perfect Christmas party and everyone's invited to spend the holidays at McMillan farm with her and Derek. But something feels wrong and she can't put her finger on what it could be. Meanwhile, Derek is only going along with Clarice's plan because he wants to make her happy, but the McMillan brothers haven't celebrated Christmas ever since the death of their parents fifteen years ago. Perhaps it's time to leave the past behind and start a new family tradition? Alliance members Aidan, Heidi, and Jamie are travelling to McMillan farm for Christmas along with Jamie's mate, Alison. When they realize their colleague Kyle is going to be left on his own over the holidays, they convince him to tag along at the last minute. He grudgingly accepts the invite, but soon changes his tune when after their arrival he is introduced to Lily, Clarice's best friend, who just happens to be the unnamed woman he had spent a single night with months earlier... Heidi feels like the odd one out. In a mixed company of humans and bears, she's the only wolf and also the only one who has never actually celebrated Christmas before. Can she let go of her reservations and get into the swing of things? This collection of short stories is best enjoyed after reading the first three books in the Scottish Werebears series.
