She'll be home for Christmas… even if she has to steal a ship to get there! Rowan has missed out on the last three big family holidays, and she's determined not to miss another. Holiday travel is always a mess, and even worse when she needs to get from Mars to Minnesota. Every flight is booked through the New Year and things aren't looking good. Until someone whispers the name Dashiel Blitz and gives her a bit of holiday hope. He just wants to spread good cheer… Dash makes a life shepherding sick children from planet to planet so they can be with their parents or get medical treatment. Rowan isn't like his usual passengers, but his soul sings when they meet and he can't say no. She's on his ship for a ride, but he wants even more. One tiny problem… Dash isn't just a pilot. He's a reindeer shifter and he needs to keep that a secret if he wants to stay safe. But if Rowan is his mate she needs to know the truth. And when a delay in their trip threatens to strand her on the wrong side of Earth, he may have to reveal himself in the most dramatic way possible. Could a determined human woman want an alien shifter for a mate? Or will their wild ride end with a crash and burn? The authors of Starr Huntress were given a challenge: give readers a reindeer shifter in your holiday story. We all agreed to call our shifters "reilendeer" and decided they bring good cheer to the world around them… and then we went crazy! You might notice differences about the world and abilities of the reilendeer from story to story, and that's because each author has put her own spin on the challenge.
