    Chelly is going nuts-she thinks. And she's fighting for the right to keep her little boy. Right before Christmas, her ex announces he is going to sue for custody of their child. Because she is losing her mind. She is talking to a man who doesn't exist. A tall, sexy creature with wicked blue eyes and magic in his hands. And he can't possibly exist. After all, elves aren't real.

      Chapter One

      Nikolai.

      The gleaming black head didn’t so much as lift in acknowledgment.

      But the leader knew he was aware.

      You did not come to our meeting.

      A soft sigh filled the room.

      How many times must I tell you? ‘Tis bad enough in the eyes of the Council that I have chosen an unmated man as my successor–

      One of three.

      The low deep timbre of his voice still held the rich hints of Russia, the echoes of his homeland from centuries past.

      It doesn’t matter if you are one of a thousand. You are unmated, you shirk our traditions, you do not act as one of us, dress as one of us.

      Renounce me, Nikolai suggested pithily as he continued to carve an angel from a piece of crystal. Dreamy blue eyes narrowed in concentration, though he was fully aware of the concerns of his mentor—once his master. Now his friend. But Nikolai had more important concerns on his mind than whether or not the North Council chose him.

      Once, it had been the most important thing to him.

      Once...

      Chelly lowered herself gently down onto the couch, afraid her body was going to shatter. The papers in her hand sealed her fate.

      The bastard was trying to take Bryan from her, saying she was unfit, losing her mind, dreaming of places, men, worlds that didn’t exist. Certainly not fit to take care of a normal boy, much less a handicapped one, one with special needs.

      Our son isn’t handicapped, you cold ass son of a bitch, she hissed. Then her emerald green eyes narrowed. "My son. My son." Drawing her knees to her chest, she rested her cheek on them and sighed shakily. "Nikolai...this is all your fault."

      Of course...what good does it do blaming it on you?

      You aren’t real.

      I am going crazy.

      She had first had dreams of him when she was small, just five. Right after the death of her parents, on Christmas Eve. They had been out doing some last minute shopping. A desperate druggie, looking for money, needing that next fix and her parents had been wealthy looking targets. He hadn’t cared he had robbed a child of her parents, her focus, and on Christmas Eve, the most magical day of the year.

      It would have stopped
