Zir finally won Lois as his mate, married her, and was re-united with the brother he thought he'd lost. Then, as if that wasn't enough for one male to be happy, he and Lois have adopted four Volin orphans, two little boys who need constant watching, and two twin girls on the edge of adolescence. Christmas is a time for family, but all Zir wants is some time alone with his mate! Will the office Christmas party be the answer, if he can talk his brother into baby-sitting, and tear Lois away? Or will the duties of being a parent interrupt and distract them again?
This novella is short and sweet at 20,000 words. Zir and Lois told their story in The E.T. Guy, which should be read first.
