Special Agent Cowboy by Regan Black
The Marine’s Christmas Case by Lara Lacombe
Dear Reader,
Happy holidays! It’s Christmastime in Shadow Creek, Texas, but the town’s jovial holiday spirit is threatened by Livia Colton, a manipulative killer everyone believed was dead.
Like you, I’m a huge fan of the many branches of the Colton family tree and it’s an honor as an author to add this story to that world—at Christmastime, no less—with two special characters who have ties to the incredible Colton dynasty.
Emiliano Ortega grew up in Shadow Creek surrounded by a nurturing family, and though he leaves frequently for his FBI assignments, he always knows home is there, waiting for him to return.
For Marie Meyers, family is an elusive concept. Having grown up in the Dallas foster care system, life has taught her the only person she can count on is herself.
You might not find two people more different in their view of family, friendship, work and the holidays. But when Marie becomes a central target in Livia Colton’s most recent game of revenge, Emiliano is tasked with keeping her safe until his team can resolve the threat.
Emiliano and Marie face an uphill battle of shedding their expectations in order to cooperate and reveal a criminal. Is it possible that in each other they will also find the genuine, lasting love they’ve both been quietly seeking? Fortunately, this is the season of miracles.
Live the adventure,
Regan Black
