From Christmas Eve arrival... to royal revelation!

Aeryn isn’t very merry when King Vesuvius appears on her doorstep. She hasn’t forgotten a moment of their volcanic, doomed love affair — it led to the baby he’s never met. Yet it’s clear that injured Vesuvius doesn’t remember anything...except Aeryn!

Vesuvius is sure the beautiful stranger in front of him is his. So why is she scowling like he ripped her heart from her chest? Snowed in together for Christmas, their furious chemistry boils over. But will Vesuvius’s memory return in time to confront their past and reveal the secret that could save them?
