Christmas Griffin (A Mate for Christmas Book 5)

Hardwick Jameson is a griffin shifter who prefers the solitude of a snowy cabin over the insincere cheer of the holiday season. Gifted with the ability to detect every falsehood, he finds the festive charade of others physically painful. He is looking for silence and isolation, but fate has a much more complicated gift waiting for him in the mountains.

Delphine Belgrave is living a lie that threatens to shatter her world. Born into a prestigious line of winged lion shifters, she has spent her entire life hiding the fact that she has no shifter abilities of her own. When a surprise family reunion forces her into the heart of a blizzard, she is terrified her secret will finally be exposed. A sudden car crash leaves her stranded with the one man who can see past every defense she has built.

As a gripping entry in the paranormal romance genre, this story masterfully weaves the fated-mates trope into a high-stakes winter setting. Can a man who physically reacts to lies find common ground with a woman whose entire existence is a deception? This heartwarming yet intense tale proves that true love is the only thing strong enough to survive the truth.
