    About this ebook

    Blending into the woodwork may be the opposite of what most people want, but most people aren't Darren Jones, the youngest son in a large, boisterous family. Darren likes his quiet, settled life in small town Knot Valley, he likes it just fine. No drama, no excitement, and plenty of tea and books—an introvert's dream, He's totally unprepared for the hunky, alpha Sergeant Jameson Weaver to upend his family Christmas by doing the one thing most people don't anymore: see him.

    Newly retired Jameson can't help but notice the omega who thinks he's plain and hides behind his shyness. Something about him calls to all Jameson's primal alpha instincts to claim and protect—feelings the loner in him has never felt before. But he's only visiting for the holidays—he'd be no good for the younger man.

    Christmas has a way of working its magic, even if you don't believe in it. Well, Christmas and the folks of Knot Valley who know a good match when they see it. The grizzled, broody alpha and introverted, quiet omega may seem like opposites in every way, but love, cocoa, interfering families, and the spirit of Christmas can change their minds if they only change their hearts first.

    Welcome to Knot Valley, a sleepy small town in Eastern Washington. Knot Christmas Without You is the fifth in the series about super dominant alphas and quirky omegas finding love and creating families in an alternate universe where mpreg is possible. Some of the books are reimagined from a different series. If you like your MM steamy and endings happy, this hot series will get you right in the feels.

    Chapter One

    Darren

    AGAINST ALL ODDS, IT is possible to feel lonely in a room full of people you love.

    I’m keeping myself busy-looking by adjusting the pine garland across the mantle of my childhood home. Busy-looking is a trick. A trick I’ve honed from childhood. It is my way of hiding in plain sight. If you’re busy, or at least look busy, most people leave you alone. At least for a while.

    Bing Crosby croons in the background while I place sprigs of holly berries, pine cones, and baby’s breath evenly down the twelve-foot garland. It has to be perfect. Not because anyone cares—my large, boisterous family isn’t concerned with the concept of perfection—no, it needs to be perfect because I’ve spent so damn long arranging it now that I’d feel stupid if it didn’t look right. Around me, the family is busy with other decorations in the great room and ...beer. Beer is a definite activity, as per usual. My mother is in the kitchen baking more cookies than a Keebler Elf does in his entire lifetime. Judging by the yelling directed at the television, my siblings and cousins are upset with the scores of some game and what kind of intervention the refs needed due to some play or another.

    Honestly, I have no idea. Sportsing all sounds the same to me. But it won’t be long before all the joking and conversation rounds the room to me. Who are you dating? Why aren’t you dating? I’ll smile awkwardly, and someone will call me shy, and then I’ll blush and that will start another set of discussion points about my appearance. They love me, and the teasing is always good natured. But it is still teasing. I feel silly for feeling like I don’t fit in, but even now, at twenty-five years old, I feel out of place in the bustle of my huge family.

    I am child number four of four—two sets of twins for my parents—and one of innumerable cousins. I love them, all of them, I just prefer them one at a time. I’m not shy, not really. I simply feel overwhelmed in groups. Especially the last few years.

    Being the focus of attention has always been uncomfortable for me, but my siblings thrive on it—each of them good at sports and performing. I am good at...being Darren. I like my quiet apartment in town. My quiet job for my grandparents. My quiet life crafted with just the right balance of solitude and family.

    But today is a good day. It isn’t Christmas for another week, but today is even better than Christmas. Cameron is coming home.

    I check the time. Not long now.

    Cameron Jones, my twin, is the exception to the family makes me feel weird rule. He’s just finished his second tour in Afghanistan and this will be his first Christmas home in a few years. Consequently, the celebration of Christmas is slated to be more like a weeklong festival this year. Mom is determined to make up for his lost Christmases.

    While having a big family already means lots of traditions, it seems like this year is going to go off the rails into Christmas mania. My mother actually took notes on a legal pad while watching The Santa Clause. Notes. Probably things like source a reindeer or pay the town’s children to dress up like elves.

    Cameron will love it. All of it. I suppose a reindeer wouldn’t be so bad. And I like kids. Just not a lot of them in a small space. But I’m not crazy about the figgy pudding. Mom sent an email last week putting me in charge of it. For fifty people. That is a lot of figgy. That is a lot of people.

    But I am so looking forward to having Cameron home.

    It has been hard without him the last few years. Probably good for me in a lot of ways. But he is my twin. My other half. We can communicate without words, and nobody makes me laugh like he does. Skype is a poor substitute.

    The game switches to a commercial break, so I slip into the kitchen and take a deep breath. So far so good for avoiding the awkward dating conversations.

    Just in time, my mom says. The cookies are ready to decorate.

    I look at the shapeless cookies lining the counter, holding one up to the light, wondering why it has a hole in the middle of what could have maybe been a snowman. Dr. Jones, they let you cut people open for a living. Why can’t you cut a cookie? These don’t...what are they supposed to look like?

    I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong either. Every year, I roll the dough, I cut the dough, but by the time I get them into or out of the oven, they look more like Patrick Star than trees and Santas.

    I pick another one up. This one is more Spongebob than Patrick.

    Ha-ha.

    We’ve been working side-by-side for half an hour when my mom gets the text that the guys are almost home. Did you put the guest towels out?

    Yes, Mom. She’s already asked twice today.

    "Not the nice guest towels...the fancy ones."

    I get insta-prickles on the back of my neck. "Why would we put the fancy guest towels out for Cameron? I mean, I know we missed him, but he’s still Cameron." Not fancy guest towel material.

    He’s bringing his sergeant home with him. Or ex-sergeant. I’m not sure how that works. He’s the one who saved your brother’s life, but he’s getting out of the army now. Sergeant Weaver.

    Fabulous. One more person. And a stranger to make it interesting. Breathe. Just breathe.

    I take the bowls to the sink so I can talk without having to look directly at my mother. It might be easier to approach her about the sleeping arrangements without eye contact. Mom, I’ve been thinking. Maybe I should stay in town this week after all. It sounds like you’re going to have a full house here. There’s no reason why I can’t stay in my own apartment. Where there are no strangers. I’ll commute here every day.

    I chance a glance behind me. My mom has that look—the one that says, What are we going to do with you, Darren?

    What? I just think—

    Your father and I are really looking forward to having all of you home. Under one roof. For the week. Like old times.

    I have taken a week’s vacation, and my siblings and I have all moved home for the holiday. I miss my quiet apartment already, and I’ve only been here for a few hours. I’ll come back first thing every morn—

    Please, Darren. We all need this. As a family. There is plenty of room here, and I don’t want to worry about you driving home late at night.

    Late at night? Why would I be up late at night?

    My mother takes
