Cozy fantasy meets Christmas in this charming, spicy, second chance romance novella. Welcome to Claw Haven, where monsters go to find some peace and quiet. Going home for Christmas wasn't on chimera Arthur Pineclaw's to-do list, not since he left the sleepy town of Claw Haven over a decade ago. He's back now for one reason only-to film a cozy holiday romance. Two weeks of smiling for the cameras and charming his fans, and he can go back to LA. Easy. After all, there's no one he can't charm. No one except for Emma Curt, the high school sweetheart he dumped on Christmas Eve. The same woman who apparently owns the café they're filming in. Emma never would've agreed to let her café be a filming location for a rom-com if she'd known Arthur Pineclaw was the lead. She'd rather eat rocks than be civil to the guy who abandoned her to become a movie star-on Christmas Eve. But as the two spend more time together, it's easy to fall into old habits…and into bed. Just because things are still good between them doesn't mean Emma's ready for anything more, but when their unexpected reunion stirs up old feelings-and old arguments-a second chance romance might be the gift they both need.
