She’s a researcher. He’s a surgeon. She loves sweets. He hates them. She laughs at everything. He’s a grump. Malorie loves Christmas — it’s her favorite time of the year. Every New Year’s Eve, she makes a wish… and somehow, it always comes true. This year won’t be the exception. But someone overhears her wish and decides to make it come true — even if he happens to be the one person she can’t stand. Christmas secrets are meant to be kept… but Malorie’s has fallen into the hands of her sworn nemesis.

Krallel, the commander of the fleet, has longed for a mate — especially for the fleet’s chief healer, Anne. To win the impenetrable healer, who has turned down every male who’s ever confessed to her — including the commander himself — Krallel decides to use his dominant pheromones, a substance known to act as an irresistible aphrodisiac. But something goes wrong. By mistake, the one who receives the pheromones isn’t Anne… but Captain Veronica — a woman who shares nothing in common with him and who couldn’t be further from his idea of a perfect mate. His pheromones were supposed to affect only Anne. They weren’t supposed to work on Veronica… but they did.
