A Beary Little Christmas Tirza Schaefer

Arrow, a Marine SpecOps officer, crashes his helicopter in a blizzard and is saved by an angel who is, in fact, a witch from New Orleans.

Angel is a single mother who stays at a cabin tucked away in the wilderness of the Wyoming Teton Range with her 16-year-old twin sons Ari and Bjarni. They are spending the winter holidays there to unwind from the hustle and bustle of busy New Orleans life, where Angel has a house and shop just off Bourbon Street on which her parents own a blues bar. She is the most powerful witch of the French Quarter and serves the local population with all things witchy.

When Arrow bursts into the hut in the middle of the blizzard it isn't mere concern for his health that drives Angel to take her clothes off to warm Arrow under the blankets. After a passionate encounter between the two adults, Angel, Arrow and the twins end up downstairs, mulling over the past while sipping Angel's famous holiday tea. All could be peaceful if it weren't for the Grizzly that decides to enter the house and take up residence by the warm fire. As there are no guns in the house, the four humans debate on how to lure the giant bear outside again. But oddly, Arrow seems loath to follow the plan.

Does he know more than he lets on and what kind of secret mission was he in the middle of when his helicopter crashed? And why does he think a Louisiana witch and her psychic twins could be the solution to his classified operation?
