Faye Norris had no idea that going to her ten-year high school reunion would change her life. But running into Archer Harmon, the platonic friend who helped get her through those tough years, makes it clear that her life is about to be shaken up. Her youth as a panther shifter in the super conservative South wasn't an easy time for her. Archer was a great friend, but Faye always wanted more from their relationship. Shyness kept her from pursuing him then, but nothing will stop her now.

Archer knows what Faye wants from him, he's always known. His telepathic powers revealed all, and he let his jock friends stop him from pursuing her back in high school, to save his so-called “rep.” Now that he's found her again, he won't back down from exploring a romantic relationship with her. Letting her know about his power makes for an awkward conversation, but the lovemaking that follows feels more natural than anything he's done in his whole life.

Their steamy night together leads to a passionate romance, one they keep a secret from their families due to the strained relationship between the Norris and Harmon clans. Tired of hiding their love, Faye is taking Archer home for the holidays, to attend her family's Christmas gathering in the mountains of North Carolina. The Norris family knows Archer as a friend, but will they accept him as Faye's lover, despite the longstanding mistrust between shapeshifters and telepaths?
When a dangerous character shows up at the festivities, an epic clash of good and evil ensues. Archer know who can't be trusted, and is willing to risk his own safety to keep Faye out of harm's way.

Will Faye and Archer even get the chance to reveal their love to the family? Or will love's holiday be cut short by tragedy?
