Dreaming of a White Wolf Christmas

Terry Spear. Sourcebooks Casablanca, $7.99 mass market (320p) ISBN 978-1-4926-4517-7

Spear (SEAL Wolf Undercover) capitalizes on the reading public’s love affair with shape-shifters and the people who adore them with a sweetly funny Christmas tale, the first in a series. Candice Mayfair had been living a wonderful life with parents who loved her and a relatively undemanding job. Then a chance encounter with an Arctic wolf pup turned her into a shape-shifter. In the two years since, she’s had to segregate herself from the rest of society thanks to her inability to control the urge to shift. Luckily, her career as a paranormal romance author (specializing in wolf shifters) is enough to sustain her. Owen Nottingham is also an Arctic wolf shifter and a PI hired to find the missing heir of a small fortune. Little does he expect to learn Candice, the heir, is the she-wolf he’s been dreaming of. Their way forward isn’t clear, however. In order for Candice to claim her inheritance, she has to travel from the wilds of South Dakota to the heat and hustle of Houston, where her secret could be revealed at any time—and she only has 30 days to do it. The joy and delights of Christmas sparkle alongside a lovable cast of characters. This is a feel-good read with just a dollop of romantic heat and a few fun twists that fans of the author are sure to enjoy. (Oct.)
