Her Holiday Protector, Men of Millbrook Lake

A smalltown Florida detective must put his faith in a woman with a shadowy past in this uplifting holiday romantic thriller.

After witnessing a murder in her own home, Rikki Allen goes running for help. But when she finds detective Blain Kent, she isn’t sure how much she wants to reveal about herself. Blain suspects that Rikki may have been the intended target. And he wonders why this vulnerable beauty is being so cagey.

When the killer comes after Rikki at a safe location, Blain finally gets the truth: Rikki is the daughter of notorious crime boss Franco Alvanetti. A by-the-book former marine, Blain has made it his life mission to put the Alvanetti family out of business. Yet he has to trust Rikki to protect her from a killer who wants her dead by Christmas.
