A holiday romance with a dash of romantic suspense and a former military hero who is so not feeling the festive spiritâŚ
Bah humbug. Bounty hunter Jake Hale hates Christmas. He doesnât do twinkling lights, festive packages, and you definitely wonât ever catch him singing Christmas carols. What he will do? Track down the worst of the scum out there. The former special ops soldier makes merry by tossing the naughty into prison cells and getting a grand pay day. Ho, ho, ho.
Then a ghost from Christmas past walks through his door.
True Blakely is always at the top of the nice list. Beautiful, sweet, with an innocence thatâyep, he might have been tempted to destroy once or twiceâsheâs there to hire him. There have been a string of dangerous accidents in her life, and True fears that someone is trying to kill her. Not at all the sort of case that Jake would usually takeâhe hunts down the criminals after they jump bail, not before theyâve even been arrested. But one look into Trueâs bedroom eyes, and he canât refuse. Maybe he still is a bit too tempted by the girl who got awayâŚand surely one nice act wonât kill him? For her, he can play the hero.
Heâll close the case and be home in time for Christmas dinner.
Except, on the first morning of his investigation, he finds a dead body. One waiting underneath Trueâs glittering Christmas tree. The attacks are real, and itâs clear that someone is gunning for True. But Jake is on the job now, and no one is going to hurt her. His protective instincts are in overdriveâŚand so is the desperate desire that heâs always felt for True. This time, heâs done fighting that desire. Heâll finally show True just how fantastic it can be when you arenât nice. Welcome to his naughty list.
