Synopsis

Holiday magic is in the air as twins Cassidy and Kaley find love in a Christmas to Remember Anthology
An Uncertain Future
Cassidy Reid met her Seraphin one enchanted December and dreamed of a magical future, only to find it jeopardized by something they couldn’t have foreseen: he was dying. Forcibly put into Rest for a century to elongate his life, she threw herself into a quest to find a cure and save the man who held her heart even as others warned he might not even remember her when he woke.

But her faith in their Seraphin bond was strong and this was a time of miracles. When she learns that he’s finally woken, she is determined to do whatever it takes to ensure that Quinn will finally be Home for Christmas.

A Holiday of Promise

Kaley Reid knew Talon Bellator was her Seraphin her entire life. He was her best friend, a handsome, steady constant in her life, and anticipated the time when they would finally take that step from friends to loves. Only, after a century, Talon had kept them firmly in the friend-zone and Kaley is finally done with it. This Christmas she is determined to have the future she’s always dreamed of even if she has to drag to him along with her.

When a pair of orphans appear on her doorstep and announce that Kaley and Talon are meant to be their parents, it throws her holiday plans for a loop. But as the four of them prepare for Christmas, Talon realizes his desire to keep his newfound family is stronger than the fears keeping him from Kaley and he sets out to make this a Christmas to Remember.
