Centaur's Little Helper

Nigel isn't a big fan of the holidays, especially since the last time he went home for Christmas, he got the gift of dashed hopes and a broken heart. So, while other handymen might reject the idea of tackling a new project when they could be relaxing with eggnog in front of the fire, Nigel gladly accepts a job that'll distract him from all the festivities he'd like to ignore. A centaur finishing a nursery for a demi-mortal named Klaus and his little elf missus while they head home to help with the "family business"? It's just another day in Pine Ridge, and that's all Christmas is to Nigel. Just another day.

Briana thought booking a secluded cabin in the snowy foothills would make for a picture-perfect Christmas-and pave the way for the proposal her boyfriend had been hinting at. But when her boyfriend dumps her at the last exit before Pine Ridge, she loses her way in the dark, and then her cell phone dies, Briana only has one thing to say about the holidays. Bah-frigging-humbug.

Can the wrong cabin, a lot of brandy, and a little shared heartbreak somehow put some super spicy happy back into Nigel and Briana's holidays? Find out in Centaur's Little Helper, a steamy standalone from Pine Ridge!
