Christopher "Kit" Catenhouser has made a huge mistake. He agreed to a snowball fight with his friends, and now, he has a terrible cold. He feels utterly wretched, miserable and quite frankly, filthy. Fate seems against him, because that's exactly when his mate, Howler Smith, steps through his door. And what's a self-respecting catkin to do? This is not the way to meet one's mate. So, he can only hide. But Howler is a wolfkin—and nothing if not determined. Will it be enough to help Kit through the woes of his catkin life?
