Her ex-husband wants her dead? Daria Carlisle can hardly believe it. Detective Kevin Gordon insists it's true...and that it's his fault that her ex is still at large. Which means it's his responsibility to make sure Daria stays safe. So when Daria stubbornly refuses to run scared, Kevin takes on the role of yuletide protector. He knows firsthand that Daria's ex means business. And with Christmas coming, the determined cop intends to give Daria the holiday celebration she deserves-- safe and sound by his side forever.
Daria is divorced from George, living alone, and trying to rehab an old house. George tries to hire a hit man to kill her, who is really an undercover cop, Kevin. Kevin takes it upon himself to use his own time and money to watch Daria's every move. Still, George breaks into her home and leaves deadly "gifts" for her to find. This story has just the right amount of everything. There's enough attraction to make it romantic, enough suspense to make you turn the page, enough clues to make it believeable, enough faith to make it Christian. The plot moves smoothly from one scene to another without the "soap opera" repeats. Well done. I also recommend Stars Shine After Dark.
good mystery

So, a police officer comes over to Daria Carlisle's house and tells her that her husband is trying to have her killed. Detective Kevin Gordon's undercover mission was messed up and because of it Daria's ex-husband is free instead of behind bars. Since Daria has no money to leave town Detective Gordon takes it upon himself to keep Daria safe. But danger's lurking nearby, and Kevin can't be with her every second... Quite frankley, I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and recommend it to any mystery-romance fan.
