A Wolfish Tryst at Christmas — Sandra Sookoo

Elizabeth VanHaussen has exchanged letters with Blake for a year, and he's promised to meet her at her uncle's annual Christmas Eve party, but the war often throws plans awry. In such stressful times, she can't wait to tell him how she feels because who knows what tomorrow holds.

Blake Harrison, a captain in the Union army, has one night free from his obligations. The War Between the States might have broken the nation, but he refuses to let it claim his love for Elizabeth as a casualty. And for Christmas, he intends to ask for her hand.

Desire and mutual need collide on the dance floor, but what transpires once they adjourn to a private bedroom will forge their future regardless of wartime.
