An Alpha for Christmas, Tericka Black, in 5 days
An Alpha for Christmas 🎄
It always looks like Christmas threw up all over my hometown in December. Every shop's windows are frosted to perfection, and yes, couples hold hands while skating on a perfect ice rink. I'd bet someone is selling hot chocolate from a nearby cart, too. My mom's bakery is no exception to the Christmas explosion, with twinkling lights dangling from the eaves and snowmen painted on the large window around her ornate hand-drawn logo.
I promised I would be home for Christmas. I didn't promise I would like it.
The Wilson family hasn't had a gathering this big in years; there's bound to be some drama.
"I invited Trace."
Ope, there it is... the drama, and he's not even family.
Trace Lawrence, my little brother's annoying best friend, shows up in skinny jeans, covered in tattoos and piercings, with a wicked grin aimed right at me.
Peppermint, chocolate, and coffee — his scent tickles my nose like fizzy ginger ale.
Trace isn't little anymore, and he’s gorgeous and an alpha. Oh, and he’s got a secret.
Did I forget to mention I'm a ticking time bomb?
An unbonded, thirty-four-year-old omega.
I turn tail and run... right into my cheating ex.
As if it couldn't get worse, we're all trapped at my parents' house when a blizzard grounds all transportation in and out of town.
Nothing prepared me for a blizzard, my ex, and an alpha who's decided I'm his.
Hi, I'm Mollie, and I need a drink. Something stronger than hot chocolate, please.
An Alpha for Christmas is coming to KU on December 9th!
