Oh My Deer
by Saloni Quinby
What the hell was he thinking? He was a thirty year old man, not a child to believe in legends spun by his grandfather. Shoot, even Grandpa would probably call him crazy for thinking he had a shapeshifting caribou recovering in his shed.
Still, Jake tugged money out of his pocket and placed it on the counter for the newspaper. After buying some food, he hurried home. Thinking again that he was crazy, he strode into the shed, his heart pounding wildly.
He knelt in front of the caribou and held up the newspaper. “That was you, wasn’t it?” he said. Even as he spoke, he felt totally embarrassed by his behavior. Clearly this was nothing more than a beast. Shifters were the stuff of legends. Maybe he had been living out here for too long by himself, with nothing but his photography. Still he went on, “If you’re a shifter, give me some kind of sign so I won’t think I’m crazy. I’m trying to help you.”
Jake closed his eyes for a moment and laughed. “What an idiot I am. I think I have truly lost my –” He stopped speaking abruptly as he opened his eyes. His heart actually skipped a beat and his stomach lurched.
The caribou was gone. In its place lay a sinewy, long-limbed man with wild blond hair and huge, pain-filled blue eyes. His ribs, back and one muscular thigh were covered in bloodstained bandages.
Blurb:
When Jake rescues a wounded reindeer less than two weeks before Christmas, he doesn’t realize he has found one of Santa’s reindeer-shifters.
The adorable shifter is willing to show his gratitude in sexy ways Jake never expected, but once he flies away will he be gone forever, or will he return as promised on Christmas day?
