Loving him may cost her everything
Eight years ago she was left for dead and Maddison Baer gained a life. It wasn’t her real life, but it was more than she’d had before.

MISSING UNDER THE MISTLETOE
(CHRISTMAS ROMANTIC SUSPENSE NOVELLA)
She was a wedding planner. Dodging bullets and playing dead were not part of her skill set.
Up until now, Rosalynn’s biggest challenge has been to convince Killian Kavanaugh to remain in her presence long enough to apologize for leaving him and town without a word seven years ago. What she wouldn’t do to go back to the glares and obvious avoidance of her former best friend.
When Rosalynn’s ex-boyfriend shows up at her door, bringing with him trouble of the more mortally perilous kind, she is forced to throw curtesy aside and seek help from Killian, if she can stay alive that long.
Sheriff Lieutenant, Kilian Kavanagh, has successfully evaded Rosalynn for the last two years, but one nearly hysterical call from the normally cool and sophisticated woman brings him running. Never mind that she hurt him more than he thought possible or that just looking at her reminds him of the most embarrassing night of his life. He has to make sure she stays safe, even if it’s just to get the answers to why she left.
Ensconced in what used to be her second home, Rosalynn is reminded of all of the relationships she sacrificed. Now that she is practically glued to Killian’s side, will she be able to get him to forgive her, save her, love her?
