About this listen
RUE:
I’m promised to my father’s enemy to pay off his debt. However, I detest Azrael and could never be his bride.
I run away into the forest to think, where I fall into a ravine and injure my leg.
A giant, green brute of a man finds me. He tells me he tends a reindeer farm and is searching for one of his reindeer who got lost. I’m sure he’s going to kill me. However, instead he takes me to his cabin and binds my wounds. He’s kind and gentle, and I find myself falling for him even though I know I shouldn’t.
To make matters worse, a snowstorm traps us in the orc’s cabin and Christmas is in two days. And I’m keeping a secret…one so big that if revealed could destroy everything…
NOEL:
The injured girl in my forest is a headache I don’t need right now. Not when one of my reindeer is missing and there’s a snowstorm coming. Both our necks will be on the line if I don’t find the creature soon.
But the girl needs me, and without my healing powers her wounds could prove fatal. I’m tempted to take her for myself, but then I learn she’s another man’s bride. However, if she doesn’t leave my cabin soon, I may not be able to stop myself from claiming her as my own gift come Christmas morning…

Story
Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave - I mean housekeeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits. And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

All Evie Cruz wants for Christmas is a nap. And maybe some ornaments for her naked Christmas tree. And while she’s making a list, she wouldn’t mind unwrapping her sexy upstairs neighbor like a present. Luckily, the building’s Santa-themed party and a surprise sprig of mistletoe give her just the opening she needs to make all her wishes come true.
