Out of the Ordinary — Elyzabeth M. VaLey

When twenty-two year old Dolph arrives in Christmas town, he only intends to stay for a few days, especially with his secret in tow. However, when Bill and his herd turn up for the contest that will choose Santa's next sled pullers, he can't bring himself to leave. With his heart hanging on a line and his feelings for Bill evolving swiftly, Dolph will have to decide if he wants to join the herd or continue his life as a solitary shifter.

At first sight, Bill's herd meets societal convention, but on closer inspection, the team of eight doesn't exactly follow the rules. When Bill meets Dolph and his body and soul react to him in ways that are out of the ordinary, Bill knows that he must have the young reindeer in his life. With the help of his herd, a plan develops. Yet, with only three days before Christmas Eve, will they be able to convince the younger shifter to stay with them forever?
