This holiday season, join two of today's most popular paranormal authors for a special look into their worlds, where creatures are always stirring and no one sleeps through the night. . . .

✥ The Gift — by Lynsay Sands

Teddy Brunswick knows about the immortals among us. He's worked with them, called them friend-but he never counted on being snowed in with one over Christmas. Katricia Argeneau is a tasty little bundle and she seems to feel the same way about him. Problem is, he's not sure she feels quite the same way. After all, the snowstorm has derailed her blood delivery, which leaves him the only available meal on the menu. . . .

✥ Home for the Holidays — by Jeaniene Frost

Cat and Bones are looking forward to a normal holiday-at least as "normal" as it gets for the combustible vampire couple and their otherworldly friends and family. But their yuletide plans are shattered when a stranger shows up and reveals long-buried family secrets that threaten to take a bite out of their holiday cheer . . . and lives. ~ Shelfari

  • Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever was left, no matter how improbable, had to be the truth.
  • "Believe me, I would rather be dead a thousand times over than to again watch as my own hands smash into you because some bitch has control of my body instead of me.”
  • "Contributing to his guilt when you should be showing him that he’s still the man you’re in love with, demon or no demon. And chains or no chains.”
  • “You smell like Ian. Tell me you were only pretending, Kitten, or I’ll have to kill him.”
  • “Get your bloody hands off my wife!”
  • “Someone who fires your blood, challenges your mind, keeps you on your toes, and has your back. A partner in every sense of the word.”
  • “Wow,” I whispered. He grunted. “If I had a pound for every time a girl said that while in your position.”
