His Christmas mission...

Mitchell Hawke had closed the doors of the Hawke Detective Agency to take some much-needed time off when a top secret delivery arrived on his doorstep just days before Christmas. This was no ordinary package, but a witness in desperate need of protection from a brutal mobster — the beautiful Madeline Raeburn. A woman Mitch had every reason not to trust.

But with a killer who seemed to know her every move, Madeline broke through Mitch’s barriers when she placed her body and soul into his keeping. Now they faced a journey fraught with peril — and unexpected passion. A passion Mitch had to resist to keep Madeline alive.
