From Melanie Jackson, bestselling author of the Chloe Boston Mysteries, comes Home Fires, the fourth book in the charming and eccentric Butterscotch Jones Cozy Mystery Series.
Christmas is coming to McIntyre's Gulch, and the little Canadian village should be glowing with holiday warmth, small-town cheer, and the promise of miracles.
Unfortunately for Butterscotch Jones, the one person she most wants beside her is nowhere to be found.
Her boyfriend, Mountie Chuck Goodhead, is supposed to be coming home for Christmas. Instead, he is trapped in a snowstorm with the one man who can make even bad weather feel worse:
His father.
Chuck and his father have never had the easiest relationship, and being stranded together in dangerous winter conditions is not exactly anyone's idea of holiday bonding. With tempers short, roads closed, and the storm refusing to let up, Christmas begins to look less like a celebration and more like a test of patience, courage, and family loyalty.
Back in McIntyre's Gulch, Butterscotch can only wait, worry, and hope that the season still has a miracle or two left to offer.
But in a town like the Gulch, Christmas is never simple. Snow piles up. Trouble blows in. Old resentments rise to the surface. And sometimes the people we love most have to face the past before they can find their way home.
Warm, witty, heartfelt, and filled with the cozy hometown charm that makes the Butterscotch Jones Mysteries so irresistible, Home Fires is a holiday mystery about family, forgiveness, survival, and the unexpected magic of Christmas.
If you enjoy cozy mysteries with quirky characters, snowy small-town atmosphere, emotional stakes, and a touch of holiday wonder, you will love spending Christmas in McIntyre's Gulch.
The fire is lit.
The snow is falling.
And somewhere out in the storm, Chuck Goodhead may be about to discover that Christmas miracles sometimes arrive the hard way.
