Canine Christmas — B.J. McCall

Birthday gifts come in all sorts of packages and Joy Kingston's is a major surprise.

Born just after the stroke of midnight, Joy Kingston is a Christmas baby. Just dumped by her boyfriend, Joy is suddenly alone for the holiday. Deciding to shake things up for her thirtieth birthday, Joy turns to her two best friends, Karin and Michelle, for help. She wants a man for her birthday, a sexy hunk wearing only a purple bow around his neck.

Police officer Jake McCabe is Karin's stepbrother and he's had a thing for Joy for years. When Karin and Michelle tell Jake about Joy's unusual birthday request, he volunteers for the job. Jake knows what he wants and he's willing to wear a purple bow to get it.

But is Joy prepared for a werewolf who packs heat and wants her for his mate?
