  The Sexy Holiday Delights Box-Set

  A Home For Christmas

  By Shara Azod

  Twin shifters, IIya and Ivan had been outcasts, loners for years all due to horrific events outside their control. Self-imposed exile from those they loved seemed like an act of contrition, but an isolating, lonely one. Until one cold December day nestled under a fir tree, they uncovered the most precious of gifts.

  Two—in fact.

  Tigress shifter Aya had one goal, keep the cub she’d hidden away safe at all costs, even if that meant nearly frozen to death doing so. Never could she have dreamed that a hero would swoop in and rescue her, much less—two.

  Does she dare believe in holiday miracles? Or will trusting the two shifters far too much like the one she’d escaped from be her downfall? They vowed to claim, protect and cherish her, but will believing them cost her the cub the freedom she’d risked all to get?

  Little did they all know Ilya and Ivan were not forgotten, nor were they as alone as they believed. Aya and the cub Caleb had more than just the twins on their side.

  When opposing tiger streaks collide, lives will be lost... but can the magic of the season unite three lost souls in time for kisses under the Christmas Mistletoe?

  Like the many surprises found within fruitcake, Chloe and Kevin are about to discover the holiday spirit and love.

Or would this be the holiday season that he had to smuggle Cayenne and his sister to a country without extradition treaties?

  Chapter One

  “I still don’t know if I want to return to Alaska this Christmas, Ivan. I love Uncle Valeri and Aunt Megan and all the rest… I just…”

  Ivan knew and understood all too well what his brother Ilya was saying. He too loved his family, but after what their father had done. Gleb Teegr had almost caused the death of Mica, Luka’s mate. Their father had been driven insane by their mother’s suicide and wanted all the men in his family to suffer as he had. It was a tough legacy to live down. Although they both knew their uncle and cousins didn’t hold their father’s actions against them, it was uncomfortable to be around their familial bliss knowing their father had almost destroyed it all.

  Trudging alongside Ilya around the perimeter of their property nestled in the northern corner of the Idaho wilds, Ivan said nothing. What could he say? He wanted to go home to Alaska, but he was content with the life he and his twin had built here. Away from civilization, no one bothered them. The nearest town was full of eccentric types who wanted to get away from the general populace, so they tended to stay out of their neighbors’ business. It wasn’t as isolated as Alaska, and some of the groups that had settled nearby were questionable, but it was peaceful enough.

  “You can add to this conversation at any time,” Ilya groused, coming to a complete stop in the snow.

  Ivan looked up at his brother, whose countenance mirrored his own. There was so much pain in those blue-green eyes that were exactly like his own, it was hard to witness it. Especially knowing his own eyes reflected the same sorrow. When would they be able to let this go? At what point would they be able to move on?

  “What do you want me to say?” he asked his brother with a shrug. “I agree with everything you have said. I want to go home, but can Alaska ever truly be home to us again? Valeri and Megan are quite happy. Luka and Mica are expecting. I don’t want to be a reminder of all the horror that has happened in their lives.”

  The crestfallen look on Ilya’s face was like a dagger to Ivan’s own heart. It was something they had never really said out loud, but it was a feeling that always danced around the edges of conversations of home. All Gleb had managed to do was destroy his own sons instead of breaking the tigers he had set out to hurt. Now the brothers were isolated, stuck with only each other’s company instead knowing the safety of a streak. Tigers were solitary creatures, but tiger shifters had strong family bonds. That was gone for them—at least as long as the shame of what their father had done was with them.

  “That’s not—” Whatever Ilya was about to say was stopped mid-sentence.

  Ivan didn’t need to ask what was wrong. The wind had shifted and he too smelled what his brother had.

  It was the smell of Aunt Megan, the only female natural-born tiger shifter they had ever met, yet this smell was slightly different. There was something far more…exotic about this female. Something that called to Ivan’s very blood. Ilya’s too, given the way his brother had tensed as he sniffed at the air. Whoever she was, she was hurt, badly. And she was not alone. There was a much weaker scent, very young, very weak. Without a word, both brothers took off in a dead run toward the smell. Neither of them shifted, but both used their supernatural speed to reach the female and cub.

  They found her tucked against a large tree, her body curled around a yelping bundle. She was unconscious, wearing a shirt not made for the Idaho winter. But then, she was a shifter, a tiger shifter. Her natural metabolism could keep her fairly warm for a time. But as Ivan reached down to lightly touch her face, he could tell she had been in the elements for far too long in human form. Her skin was freezing.

  “We need to get them back to the cabin,” Ilya stated unnecessarily as he reached down to retrieve the squirming cub from her now limp arms. Too young to shift, the baby had been swaddled in what looked to be one of her shirts and her coat.

  “How is he?” Ivan demanded far more gruffly than he intended as he gathered the prone woman into his arms. What were they doing out here? Who were they running from with no provisions, no weapons?

  “The baby is warm, healthy,” Ilya announced with more than a little pride. “And unclaimed.”

  Ivan’s head shot to his brother’s direction. Claiming happened within hours of a cub’s birth. A father would bite his son between the neck and shoulder, much as he would a mate, to claim his son until the cub reached majority. It was not only for protection, but to let those who would dare to harm the cub know the child was protected.

  “That is no newborn,” Ivan growled, incensed on the cub’s behalf. Not even Gleb would’ve ever thought to not claim his sons. “He has to be six months old.” Which was a damn good thing. It meant they could feed him mashed food. They had nothing by way of mother’s milk in their cabin, and no way to get it. Tiger cubs must be breastfed. One of nature’s little quirks.

  “She is not the mother, either,” Ilya added.

  “Yes, I can smell that. We need to get them back to the cabin. She needs warmth and care.”

  Later they would find out what caused her to be out in the wilderness like this, what had scared her so badly she took this child into an uncertain future, and who she was running from. Such a threat could not be allowed to exist.

  Chapter Two

  Ilya watched his brother as he slowly, carefully peeled the cold, wet clothes from the unconscious woman’s body. Ivan was careful to keep her body covered with blankets. Although he envied his brother, Ilya wasn’t quite ready to set the baby in his arms down. The little thing was confused, with waves of concern for this woman emanating from his tiny body. They may not be mother and child, but there was a bond there; the two were related in some way. Ilya didn’t want the baby to feel alone or threatened as the woman recovered.

  “I will make some broth for her,” Ivan announced, finishing his task
and tucking the blankets snugly around her body. “We have to force her to at least drink something warm. Her stomach growls as though she hasn’t eaten for far longer than she’s been in the woods.”

  “Yet, this little guy has been well fed,” Ilya mused. He had. The baby was alert, watching the both of them with wary curiosity.

  The child hadn’t cried, not even in the woods. Shifter cubs were generally aware of their surroundings when they were very young. They understood all that was going on around them and in extreme cases, shifted long before it was time in order to escape danger or to try to protect those they loved. Ilya sensed this cub’s tiger very close to the surface.

  “It’s okay, little dude. We only want to help,” Ilya cooed, looking the cub in the eyes. “We are going to protect you, I swear this.”

  The cub looked skeptical, and hell, Ilya couldn’t really blame him. As long as he could remember he’d always felt secure, even in light of the horrific man his father turned out to be, he had a family. This cub—whatever his name was—had no one but this woman. A mysterious tigress, rare, put on earth to be treasured. It was offensive to the sensibilities that someone had scared her enough to put her own life in danger. That she had taken a defenseless cub with her, one without the protection of a streak, was unfathomable.

  Females of any kind were rare in the Teegr clan. Their cousin Misha’s mate, Elba, was of the Inupiat people, indigenous to Alaska and completely accepting of shifters and all other things otherworldly. Then there was Luka’s little human, Mica, and Megan, Uncle Valeri’s second mate and the only female tiger they had ever known to exist. But this mysterious woman was also a shifter, of the same tribe as Megan according to her scent. Aunt Megan had been raised by humans and knew nothing of her origins. Perhaps this woman would be able to shed some light for all of them.
