Will a charade under the mistletoe lead to a real love story?
Dash Samuels, a grumpy reindeer shifter, is faced with an ultimatum: marry by Christmas Day or lose his cherished family inheritance. The holidays are his least favorite time of the year and now he needs to find a mate? Panicked, he devises a plan to hire a woman to play his fake fiancée, until the inheritance is secured. But what he never anticipated was the whirlwind of emotions that would follow.
Noel Brooks, a spirited dreamer struggling to make ends meet, agrees to Dash’s unconventional proposition out of necessity. The holidays are her favorite time of the year. As they embark on a charade filled with misunderstandings, holiday traditions, and undeniable chemistry, their carefully constructed façade begins to crumble, revealing the cracks in their hearts.
Dash needs to get from a grumpy humbug to a believer if he is going to catch his fated mate before it is too late.
Bah Humbug Mate is an enchanting story that reminds us that sometimes, the greatest gifts come wrapped in unexpected packages – and that true love is the ultimate holiday miracle.

Excerpt
“What do you mean I need to be mated by the winter holiday? Are you kidding me?” Dash said as he paced back and forth in the attorney’s office.
“Look, Dash, I didn’t write the damn will. Well, I guess technically I did, but your grandmother was very particular. She was very angry you left the herd. So, if you want to inherit what I agree is rightfully yours, you need to be married by the holiday deadline.”
“Which is?”
“December 24.”
“You aren’t serious.”
“I’m afraid I am. Your grandmother took these kinds of things seriously.”
“For heaven’s sake, Blitz, where the hell am I supposed to find a comely, female reindeer-shifter in the next…” he glanced at the calendar on the wall “twenty-three days?”
“Honestly, I don’t know, and there are provisions that will have you tied to this girl for at least ten years.”
Dash plopped down in the chair. “A decade? I have to spend a decade with some girl I don’t even know?”
“You know lots of girls,” said Blitzen.
“And none of them I’d want to marry.”
“Dude, for that kind of fortune, I’d marry Godzilla.” “Do you have her number?”
