Snow and Mistletoe — Kris T. Bethke

Wolf shifter Adam White has never worried about finding his mate. If it happens, it happens. Until the moment he lays eyes on Colby Carter and Adam's entire world shifts. He knows he's looking at his mate, even if he can't be sure until all his senses are engaged. But Adam didn't expect his mate to be human. And he certainly didn't expect his mate to dismiss his claim so easily.

Colby has a solid reason for saying no, but he can't deny the pull between them. When the truth comes out, Adam is still willing to get to know Colby, and Colby wants the same. But it'll take time before they take the leap to solidify their bond. Adam pulls out all the stops, including bringing Christmas to the middle of July heat, to show Colby he's willing to do whatever it takes to make Colby happy.

When a medical scare forces Colby to reevaluate what he wants, he's all in. As long as Adam is. Adam knows Colby is meant to be his, and the more he's gotten to know the man, the more he wants him. Fate may have decreed Adam and Colby were meant to be, but it's never that simple. Can these two men find their way to a future together?
