Book Description

Mere days before Christmas, a child’s nightmare came true—little Amy Hawken’s mother was attacked and then framed. But with help from her uncle and grandmother, the gutsy kid vowed to get her mom home for the holidays.

J.D. Hawken would willingly slay dragons for his special niece. The lean, mean bachelor found himself equally drawn to Mari Sanchez, the woman who was now his cohort in both child care and crime solving.

Mari quaked at J.D.’s dangerous virility. But when she found herself in danger, his strong arms were near—holding hers. She began to believe that a miracle would grant them all their Christmas wish: the safe return of Amy’s mother.
