Description
With The Bite Before Christmas, New York Times bestsellers Lynsay Sands and Jeaniene Frost—two of the hottest names in paranormal romance—team up to bring readers a holiday anthology, now reissued with a brand new cover!
With delightful stories featuring familiar faces from their enormously popular Argeneau family and Night Huntress series, these unforgettable novellas celebrating the dreams and desires of immortals at Yuletide are better than a midnight visit from Santa Claus!
In Lynsay Sands’ “The Gift”, Katricia Argeneau knows grey-eyed cop Teddy Brunswick is her life mate. She just needs to convince him they belong together, and being snowbound in a secluded cabin will make this a Christmas neither will forget.
It’s “Home for the Holidays” in Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress world. Cat and Bones may long to wrap presents and set up a tree, but this Christmas, an evil vampire and long-buried family secrets will threaten to take a bite out of their holiday cheer.
