"Peggy Staggs delivers again. Mayhem, murder, mystery and a heroine you want to cheer for." Meredith Allen Conner, author of the Kate Storm Series and the Elementals Series. This isn’t the Christmas former research physician and new Bed and Breakfast owner Ensley Markus had anticipated. She knew it would be hard with all the radical changes in her life and her father’s death in October. The joy of the season and her promising relationship with Jack Trace, the Sheriff of Spirit Springs, puts that all aside. Things falls apart when her former fiancé arrives. The CIA agent has a secret mission he claims only Jack can carry out. Ensley suspects Jack isn’t only a small town sheriff. After all, he was Delta Force and now it seems a lot more. With Jack’s kidnapping on Christmas Eve, Ensley is forced to ask the man from her past to help her find the man who just might be her future. Adding to her inner strife he tells her Jack is a thief and a murderer. She knows the agent is the only man with the knowledge and expertise to help her get through a hundred-year blizzard, find the kidnappers and save Jack. Christmas Eve turns into a three way battle. Ensley is faced with discovering who the real Jack Trace is, finding him and keeping them both alive.
