BLURB:
Mick Rozner thinks his date is going well. His new online friend is funny, attentive, and seems into him. When Mick returns from the men’s room, a stranger stops him from taking a sip of his martini. To his shock, the man claims his date slipped something into it while he was away from the table. His date’s refusal to take a drink himself all but confirms it.
After Mick’s date leaves in a huff, he invites the stranger to sit down, and Casper joins him. When Casper expresses an interest in him by commenting on Mick’s scent, he realizes the big, handsome man is a shifter. Unable to help himself, Mick accepts the proposal of a one-night stand. After all, he’s never been with a shifter before.
Can Mick accept just once with his hero or can a little holiday magick turn it into something more?
REVIEW:
Mick is on a date with Kenneth, a guy he connected with on a dating app, when he leaves to go to the restroom and call his cousin Dave to check in. Things seem to be going ok. When he returns to the table, a guy stops at his table and tells him not to take a drink from his cocktail – that his date put something in it. Mick is gobsmacked and stunned by the though of someone doing that to him. When Kenneth refuses to take a sip of the drink, it’s pretty clear that the stranger isn’t lying. Mick invites the shifter (he knows he’s a shifter by certain tells that he’s learned about from his cousin’s SO who is a shifter) to sit as they wait for the bill. After Mick pays, the stranger, Casper, asks if he can see Mick home – and more 
Mick agrees.
Mick and Casper have an incredible chemistry and Casper is surprised to find out that Mick knows he’s a shifter. They both have the best one night stand of their lives. And both miss it and want more. But Casper is a long haul trucker and Mick has his business. Maybe they can date? Oh and maybe that no good Kenneth is still causing problems
This is a short novella that doesn’t cover any new ground. If you’re familiar with Ms. Richards writing and shifter series, you will recognize the connection these two have pretty quickly 
It’s short and hot and sweet and of course the good guys always win. There is the required HEA too
