Blurb(s):
It's time for the chipmunk brothers
to take their bear and wolf home to meet the family for the holidays.
A vicious horde of chipmunks? Dallas
and Gunner knew that meeting their mate's family wasn't going to be a walk in
the park. How could it be when they had eighteen brothers and sisters? This
bear and wolf are about to be put to the test, surviving this family holiday.
Will they be able to escape just the four of them or will they be taking some
of the siblings back to White Pine...involuntarily?

Excerpt:
Chapter One
Gunner gripped the
armrest, stale air brushing over his face from the tiny fan above. He fucking
hated to fly, he really did, but the destination was well worth it in the end.
His mate, Phillip, sat next to him, smiling out the window as they flew toward
Atlanta. Phillip and Nikko had grown up there and their mother had invited him
and Dallas to spend the holidays with them. Gunner was all too excited to meet
the family of his mate. Phillip talked about them often and Skyped with them
frequently. Gunner had talked to a few of them, but he had a feeling that he
was ill prepared for meeting eighteen of Phillip’s brothers and sisters.
The plane tilted, and
Gunner blew out a breath, feeling his stomach churn, his eyes frantically
searching for the tiny bag in the pouch in front of him but coming up empty.
The seats had seen better days, and he focused on the tear in the corner of the
seat in front of him until the plane leveled off, praying he didn’t throw up in
his mate’s lap.
A hand touched Gunner’s
sweaty one, and he glanced over at Phillip, who eyed him with concern. “Didn’t
you take the Dramamine?”
Gunner swallowed
thickly. “I took three.”
“Three!” Phillip shouted
in alarm, turning toward him. “You’re supposed to take one, no more than two.”
“I thought…” I was
going to crash and die. “Being a bigger guy, it wouldn’t work, and it
hasn’t.”
“When did you take it?”
Phillip placed his soft hands to his forehead. Silly chipmunk, Gunner wasn’t
running a fever, just feeling the effects of motion sickness and fear take hold
of him. He might be a bit clammy, but hot he was not.
“Right before we took
off, and I’m a big guy. It goes by weight.” Gunner blew out a quivering breath.
Phillip was staring at him,
shaking his head as if he’d lost his damn mind. “You’re a doctor…”
“Dentist,” Gunner
interrupted.
“You know better. This
is going to knock you on your ass,” Phillip hissed at him. Gunner wasn’t sure
what Phillip was worried about. His mate should be reading the damn emergency
brochure because they were starting to have turbulence.
Oh shit! We’re gonna
die!
Nikko stared at them
from across the aisle. “What the hell is your problem? It’s not that bad.”
Not that bad.
He was going launch
himself out of the seat and choke his brother-in-law. That is if he could
unglue his hands from the armrest. Like the pieces of plastic would save him if
they plummeted to their death, but the grips were a damn security blanket for
him right now, so screw it.
Dallas shook his head
from next to Nikko. “He hates to fly.”
“Well, it’s all fun and
games until we’re dragging his ass all over Hartsfield-Jackson Airport. You
know how big that airport is. Did you hear how much motion sickness medicine he
took?” Nikko tattled on him to Dallas.
“They have a train,”
Phillip defended him.
Nikko gave his brother an incredulous
stare. “Then you carry him to the train yourself. By the time you’re through,
you’ll look like fucking road kill.”

About the Author
Short, sexy
and sweet— where a little love goes a long way.
That’s the
best way to describe Jackie Nacht’s stories. She was introduced to M/M Romance
through her sister, Stephani, and read it for years. Then, she thought it was
time to put her own stories on paper. Jackie began writing short and sweet stories
that ended with a happily ever after.
Thinking
back to her own book addiction, where there were many nights Jackie stayed up
way too late so she could read just one more chapter— yeah, right— Jackie
decided to write short romances for young adults as well as adults. Hopefully,
they will give high school and college students, or working men and women
something they can read during their lunch hour, in between classes or just
when they want to briefly get away from the daily stresses of everyday life.
