Winter Solstice Wishes — Gayle Parness

A short story featuring characters from the Rogues Shifter Series.

Elle, a fae female, has refused to return to the Faerie Court because of the treatment she endured under the former queen, Fionna. She's been a guest in Sasha's home for the last few months, and is finally beginning to feel comfortable in this new world -- finding herself drawn to the gentle warrior, but not feeling worthy to stand at his side. When she sees how Sasha has decorated his home for Christmas, Elle invites him to celebrate the winter solstice with her.

Sasha, a vampire with a violent past, is completely smitten by this sweetly elegant female, but has many demons of his own to dispel. When Elle invites him to a magical celebration, he jumps at the chance to spend time with her. But can they heal each other on the Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year?
