Ozzie Silverman is doing his best to prepare for the holiday season, but it’s not easy being a grumpy witch who despises everyone outside his immediate family. He has to prepare for the Winter Solstice, get in some last minute shopping, survive his grandmothers dreadful fruitcake, help out the intergalactic tentacle being—

Wait, what?

Tuesday is a bubbly and chaotic alien who’s on the run across the universe from his ex-boyfriend, a malicious conqueror of worlds who’s hellbent on them getting back together. Tuesday desperately needs a place to hide, and his unique charm is impossible for Ozzie to resist.

Plus Ozzie can’t say no to a cute face—even one with hot pink tentacles.

Things heat up as Tuesday melts Ozzie’s prickly defenses, but even the magic of the season might not be enough to save them when Tuesday’s crazy ex shows up and announces hes going to destroy the world on the twenty-fifth of December. Time is running out and Ozzie is desperate to protect Tuesday, but he might have to do something even more impossible than defeating an homicidal intergalactic overlord:

Tell his family he brought an alien home for Christmas dinner.

Trevanion Ushers mother had always told him that beauty faded but stupid was forever, so he aimed high and set out to be beautiful for as long as he could and only let people think he was stupid.

Since her passing, hes managed to navigate the perils of Perry City, a dangerous metropolis run by the mob and oozing with corruption. His sharp wits, good looks, and absolute lack of shame have served him well, and hes almost ready to escape and start over somewhere with a tropical climate. When his landlord calls in a favor, Trev is suspicious but jumps at the chance to score big in exchange for one night of work.

Naturally, thats when everything goes wrong.

Jupiter Prospero is a member of the citys ruling mob family and hes interested in sharing much more than Trevs company for the evening. Hes gorgeous, powerful, and has secrets to reveal—like Trevs relation to a powerful gangster in the city of Strassen Springs.

Trev finds himself trapped as an unwilling pawn in a deadly game between two long feuding criminal families and hell have to use all of his skills to survive, but does he stand a chance against Jupiters devastating charms?

Or will he succumb to even darker forces before he has a chance to cash out?

Ryan Dew has a very bad habit.

When life at home becomes intolerable, he takes it out on the world. He solicits men and ends their life, and hes already racked up quite a body count for only twenty-two.

His life changes forever when he picks up Ormenus Wright, a man with money to burn who refuses to respect Ryans one and only rule: He doesnt call anyone Daddy.

Ryan knows how to handle men who wont toe the line, but theres only one problem

Ormenus may not be human.

If you don't have anything nice to say…

LA Holmes has never had anything nice to say and he's not starting now.

He's fought tooth and nail to get where he is and he's not about to change his wicked ways just because things have gotten a little complicated. It doesn't matter if his body is a wreck, his career has imploded, or that his love life is in complete shambles. He is not going to give up. He is not going to quit fighting. He is not going to show any weakness…

Except for that random visit to a magic shop when he was feeling a tiny bit desperate, but reallywhat was the worst that could happen?

A magical monster being bound to him for eternity, that's what.

LA is now stuck with Cass, a snarky gentle giant of a beast who is supposed to be the answer to his problems. All Cass wants to do, however, is cuddle and bake cakes and talk about feelings. His ideas are ridiculous and frustrating, and LA refuses to listen to his stupid plans. LA can't let himself be distracted by a handsome monster when he has so much at stake and letting his guard down could cost him everything…

Cass promises LA a lifetime of happiness if he's willing to give in, but can LA find the strength to surrender?
