Another lonely Christmas approaches for Anna and her life of penance—until the otherworldly Alexander appears.
Anna is a lonely woman,
running her dead grandmother's flower shop. She hates Christmas and could not
feel more lost when a handsome and mysterious Russian, Alexander, walks into
her shop and her life. Each has secrets and magic they are harboring. Just as
their passion erupts, the good old boys in town threaten to ruin everything.
Getting to know each other is tough for most couples, but with a pack of
werewolves out to destroy them, things become intense. They find themselves in
a fight for their lives. Can their newfound love give them the strength to win
against this threat and trust in the future?
"So you just got the
quick sketch of my life, so perhaps I can ask where you are from. I love your
accent."
"Russia. I grew up right
outside of Moscow."
"Russia? Wow! What
brings you to small town Vermont? Other than the snow, I can't imagine we are
anything like Moscow," Anna said in true wonderment.
"My family came to visit
and we wanted to go somewhere quiet. I live in Washington, D.C. now. Here
seemed like a good spot for a vacation. And I must say I am glad we picked this
town on a whim." Alexander moved even closer to her, close enough they
were almost touching and he could gently stroke her hair, sending a visible
shiver down her back. "I am not making you uncomfortable, am I?"
Anna swallowed. "No,
uncomfortable is not exactly the word for what you are making me feel."
She turned around so she stared up into Alexander's deep blue eyes. They were
close enough for her to kiss his full lips and she found herself wanting to
very much.
"You are a very
beautiful woman, Anna." Alexander stepped even closer so their bodies
touched. Anna immediately felt heat rush all through her body from only a
little contact. She felt her own blue eyes widen in anticipation.
"Thank you," Anna
murmured, feeling a blush spread across her face, so evident on her pale skin.
"So are you... I mean, you are very attractive too."
Alexander smiled and leaned
down so his lips almost touched hers. "I am going to kiss you now, Anna,
unless you tell me not to."
"Umm, okay." Anna's
breath grew heavier as Alexander brought his lips to meet hers.
