Blurb
One Christmas wish. One deadly rescue. And a past that refuses to be buried.
Arlee Keller has been forced to live in her gilded cage. Forced to marry a monster by her parents for money and now bound to someone who controls everything she has left. Every smile is a lie, every breath a gamble. The only light left in her world is her daughter, Gracie.
But one whispering wish changes everything...
When Gracie climbs onto Santa's lap and wishes for her mother's happiness, Ace doesn't just listen, he acts. One reckless decision, one dangerous promise, and suddenly Arlee and Gracie are gone... hidden away in the arms of the man who would burn the world to save them.
But safety doesn't last forever.
Henry Kalven isn't a man who forgives and forgets, and Christmas lights can't outshine the darkness chasing them.
Now Arlee must fight the nightmare she escaped, and Ace will discover how fast he will flip his world upside down for the only angel he's ever loved.
A dark romantic novella about survival, obsession, and the kind of love that kills-and saves.
