Can an independent woman melt the heart of the legendary Winter King—and give a lost child the family they all need?

Tamsin has built a quiet, independent life tending her small herd on her isolated mountain croft, and she likes it that way. But when a mysterious little girl appears on her doorstep, Tamsin can't turn her away.

Wynterian d'Kingmar has lived alone in the mountains since his ship crashed on K.R.S. Three. Avoiding the humans who fear him as the legendary Winter King suits him just fine. Until one stubborn, tempting human female turns his disciplined life upside down.

Tamsin certainly doesn't intend to fall for a huge, horned alien whose stern commands make her want to argue with him almost as much as she wants to kiss him. But as winter closes in, the mystery surrounding the little girl draws them closer, and the heat between them becomes impossible to ignore.

Wynter has survived a crash, a brutal winter, and more than a year alone. Letting Tamsin into his heart may be the one challenge he can't overcome.

A sweet and steamy holiday romance featuring a fiercely independent heroine, a protective horned alien, a precocious little girl, an enormous snow beast, and an unexpected family in the making. (Intended for mature audiences.)

Honey Phillips

Honey Phillips is a USA Today bestselling author who’s mastered the art of combining steamy romance with thrilling science fiction. Her books are a thrilling ride through galaxies filled with alien warriors, fierce Earth women, and love that defies the stars. With her stories, readers are swept into universes where danger lurks, but passion always prevails, making her books a must-read for fans of intense romance with a sci-fi twist.

Honey’s passion for storytelling began early. At just five years old, she penned and illustrated her first book—a creation that, while brimming with imagination, lacked a certain polish in the art department. Thankfully, her writing skills have since evolved into a fine-tuned craft, while her drawing remains… well, let's just say, she prefers to leave that to others. Writing is her true calling, and she has spent years honing her craft, blending the excitement of sci-fi with the allure of romance in a way that captivates her readers.

Known for her Alien Abduction, Treasured by the Alien, and Seven Brides for Seven Alien Brothers series, Honey’s books are as much about fierce alien warriors as they are about the strong, relatable women who capture their hearts. Her stories are built on the thrilling premise of abductions and intergalactic invasions, but at their core, they’re about connection, love, and overcoming obstacles—whether they’re from another planet or the human heart.

Outside of her writing, Honey enjoys the simpler pleasures of life: reading, traveling, cooking, and, of course, savoring a glass of champagne—though not necessarily in that order. She’s a homebody at heart, but she dreams of visiting all seven continents. And maybe, just maybe, she’ll pet a squirrel or two along the way.

With each new release, Honey Phillips continues to captivate her growing fanbase. Whether you're a long-time reader or new to her work, her tales of passion, adventure, and the kind of romance that reaches across the stars will keep you turning pages well into the night. You can keep up with her latest books and musings by visiting her website or following her on Instagram.

If you’re looking for a wild ride with a satisfying, steamy ending, dive into Honey Phillips’ galaxy. You won’t be disappointed.
