The Heart of Wynter: A SciFi Alien Warrior Holiday Romance (Horned Holidays #06) by Honey Phillips

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.)
