Blood and Mistletoe. A Holiday Romance of the Unnatural Brethren - Silvana G. Sánchez

Power has a price. For Cassandra Deveraux, it's paid in bear magic and broken promises, sealed with a brand that makes her blood sing even as her heart rebels. But this Yule holds more dangers than navigating her forced bond with the Ursa King. A secret grows within her-one that could shatter the delicate balance between supernatural factions.

As the first formal dinner at Draken Manor approaches, ancient magics stir. The Last Dragon Shifter's frost-laden halls become a crucible where vampire blood meets witch magic, where bear strength tests dragon fire. For Cassandra, maintaining the facade of being merely Gavriil's branded mate becomes impossible as her power spirals beyond control.

But when a child's innocent magic calls forth the true power of mistletoe-a force that once bound supernatural peace treaties-enemies and allies alike must choose: hold to old grudges or embrace the possibility of new bonds forged in winter's heart.

A tale of forbidden love, unexpected miracles, and holiday magic that remembers what the modern supernatural world has forgotten-some powers transcend ancient feuds, and the truest bonds are chosen, not forced.
