  A Christmas to Remember
  The holidays are supposed to bring festive feelings but Ray is ready to toss the eggnog and mistletoe
  out the door—along with Lorenzo, the handsome and tenebrous construction worker who fascinates
  and frustrates Ray in equal measures. But when Ray discovers a world he never knew existed and is
  pulled into the conflict, he finds there is more to his grandmother than meets the eye. And what she
  confesses to him leaves Ray reeling.
  Ten years ago Lorenzo left Brac Village to deal with something that changed his life forever. Angry,
  confused, and filled with bitterness, he is approached by the Ultionem to join a battle that may very
  well end his life. But when he discovers his mate, Lorenzo is torn between his duty and the one man
  who engulfs his soul with flames of deep hunger. As the Christmas celebration draws closer, Lorenzo is
  left with a decision to either save his mate or walk away forever.
