verdant woods, Lorrie never imagines that
they are not alone . . . or that their idyllic
trip will soon become a chilling nightmare
of survival . . .
In one terrifying moment, Davey disappears.
The local police find no trace of him, and a
desperate Lorrie turns to the one man who
can help—FBI agent Stuart Saunders. Now,
the hunt is on for a child growing weaker by
the minute . . . and a cruel predator whose
twisted game of cat and mouse has only
just begun . . .
WHEN THE SNOW FALLS
Something’s in the air this holiday season, and it
could be the beginning of a wonderful Christmas
romance . . .
“Candy Canes and Cupid” by Fern Michaels
All private investigator Hannah Ray wants for
Christmas is a quiet day at her Florida beachfront
condo. When her biggest client insists
she join him on a Colorado ski trip, she has
little choice—but what she finds on her
arrival could melt the coldest heart . . .
“White Hot Christmas” by Nancy Bush
Aspiring PI Jane Kelly likes to pretend she’s a
bah-humbug kind of girl, but she’s had mistletoe
on the brain ever since she shared a kiss
with her boss, Dwayne. Before she can hope
for a repeat performance, Jane must solve a
kidnapping that’s as twisted as a candy cane—
and not nearly as sweet.
“Seven Days of Christmas”
by Rosanna Chiofalo
Five years ago, Bianca Simone received a wonderful
early Christmas gift from her
Alpine scenery of Innsbruck, Austria. Now
she’s back under very different circumstances,
but Mark has one more special gift in mind . . .
“A Smoky Mountain Gift” by Lin Stepp
Veda Trent is back in Townsend to fill in as
temporary manager of the Crafts Co-op, but
she’s not planning to stay. Though the mountain
town is small, it holds lots of unsettling
memories. Yet the wind can change, bringing
with it new opportunities—and the chance to
create the kind of Christmas Veda has always
longed for.
