The TV show I starred in ended with a massive plot twist, and now my reality has more turns than even the best script. I need a reset, and going home to Sawtooth Forest for Christmas might be the answer. But I can’t lie, it’s intimidating to go back there. There’s no pretending to be anything but who I am with those wolves. Especially when I run into Drew Channing at the airport. He was my first love, but at the time, our pack rules forbade us from being together. The wolf is even more ruggedly handsome than ever, and he’s no longer off limits. The last thing I’m looking for is a commitment after getting publicly burned, but when our flight gets canceled due to a massive snowstorm, Drew is ready to prove he’s the leading man I’ve been looking for all along. This holiday season, the wolf of Christmas past might be the gift that keeps on giving.

As the modern celebration of Christmas took shape across the nineteenth century, American writers gave it new meaning in the pages of countless books and magazines. Now, for the first time, this rich anthology brings together some of the most significant of those seasonal stories to retell a forgotten tale of Christmases past. From the authors who helped define a national literary culture, to the popular sentimentalists who negotiated Christmas’s position at the center of family life, to the realists who looked to reshape American letters in the wake of the Civil War, and beyond: all varieties of American writers turned to Christmas as an inevitable and potent subject during this deeply formative period in the history of American literature. In Christmas Past, Thomas Ruys Smith brings together a diverse range of voices to showcase the many ways in which Christmas was imagined across the nineteenth century, offering images that echo down to the present. The introduction that frames the anthology provides a new literary history of Christmas, contextualizing the selections and making clear the links both between them and to the wider trajectory of American literature.

I only know my pack from a children’s book my mom used to read to me at bedtime. My parents took me as far from Sawtooth Forest as they could to make sure I’d never be sold to another wolf. But now my pack is calling. They need a doctor who can save a wolf who’s been badly hurt in battle. They need me. The pack is embroiled in an endless war and after all this time, I’m not sure I want to get involved. But if I don’t, he might be trapped in his wolf form forever. So I’ll go, save the wolf, and leave. Xavier Lowe sees me as more than a healer. He says I’m his mate. And once he recovers from his injuries, he’ll show me why this pack is worth fighting for. And maybe even give me the storybook romance I’ve been dreaming about all my life. Note from Kristen: Her Fated Wolf was originally published as Complete Me.

I’m The Mating Game's biggest fan, but I never dreamed that my gothic cupcake self would make it on the show. Then I won my own episode. I’m so excited to go on stage and pick a hot shifter who is ready to woo me. Just one problem.

Bigfoot himself. Now I’m not sure I want to go on camera anymore. Show host and fairy dragmother Bibi le Bonnet wants me to reconsider. She thinks a total life makeover is in order to turn this superfan into a superstar. I’ll get three questions. Things were hot and heavy between Lars and me that night, but could this be more than a fling? Am I ready to leave my city life behind for this mountain man? And is it bad that I prefer his furry form? (Please say it’s not.) Three potential suitors. Lars isn’t the only beast with his eye on me. Who knew I’d be so popular? It’s a fan girl’s dream come true. But are they after me, or Lars? And three dates to find my forever. Lars is an immortal widower, still pining away over his lost mate. He’s blissfully unaware of modern human life.

But when word gets out that a creature thought to be mythical has been sighted in Sunset Springs, ancient secrets are exposed, long-forgotten creatures come back to settle a score, and being in the spotlight becomes more exciting and dangerous than I ever imagined.
