As Silent as the Night

By Danielle Grandinetti

He can procure anything, except his heart's deepest wish. She might hold the key, if she's not discovered first.

Chicago, 1933?Lucia Critelli will do anything for her ailing grandfather, including stand in a breadline to have enough food to make him a St. Nicholas Day meal. When she catches the eye of a goon who threatens her grandfather, she discovers the end of Prohibition doesn't mean the end of the mafia's criminal activity.

Retired Marine Scout Giosue "Gio" Vella can find anything, especially if it helps a fellow Italian immigrant, so he has no doubt he can locate his neighbor's granddaughter, who has gone missing from a local church. Keeping her safe is another matter. Especially when he chooses to hide out with his Marine buddy in Eagle, Wisconsin, the site of a barely-held truce among striking dairy farmers.

Will Christmas bring the miracle they all need or will Gio discover there are some things even he can't find, particularly when he stumbles upon the most elusive gift of all: love.
