Christmas Secrets Can Be Deadly... And Some Truths Are Better Left Buried. Sometimes the truth hurts... And sometimes, it's just plain scary. With Christmas fast approaching, Melissa Beckett barely has time to breathe. Between managing her beloved cupcake shop, helping run the bustling beachside bed and breakfast she owns with her husband, Detective Chas Beckett, and preparing for a season packed with guests and celebrations, Missy's holiday to-do list seems impossible to conquer. Then she becomes someone's target. A shadowy local group with dangerous motives turns its attention toward Missy, setting a chilling plan into motion. While Chas is deliberately distracted by a series of urgent investigations, the people behind the scheme seize the opportunity to make Missy frighteningly vulnerable. As unsettling events begin to unfold, Missy realizes she may be facing one of the most dangerous threats of her life. Meanwhile, Spencer Bengal-the Becketts' trusted handyman, head of security, and Marine veteran-finds himself caught in a situation that forces him to make a decision he'll regret forever. The consequences of his actions send shockwaves through Missy's inner circle and may permanently change the way she views one of her most loyal friends.
