About this ebook
Thomas Griffin never thought he'd be a homeless vet at forty-six years old. But when he was no longer useful to the government he'd spent his life serving, they turned their back on him when he needed them most, costing him everything he ever loved. After that, he really didn't care. Living his life on the fringe was safe and he didn't have to worry about anything except his next meal. That safety remains until a beautiful socialite decides to come slumming for Thanksgiving on the wrong side of town and gets herself into trouble.
Over her fifty-five years of life, Lou Ellen Wells had received many blessings. To pay them forward and honor the men in her life who served her country, both living and dead, she cooked Thanksgiving Dinner at the Dallas Veteran's Services Center every year. It was located in a bad part of town, but she'd never had a problem, until this year when she's brutally attacked and can't get to her gun. A bedraggled man with piercing blue eyes jumps to her rescue and saves her with moves out of an action movie. She gives him her card and offers him help, but he tells her doesn't need saving and takes off like his tail is on fire.
A couple of weeks later, Lou is surprised when the man calls her asking for help of a different kind. A teenage girl he cares about has gone missing in gang territory. He's afraid she'll get killed if he doesn't find her soon. Lou calls in the team to help him, but her price for that help is finding out why her Silent Knight, who is obviously skilled and educated, chooses to be homeless.
But will satisfying her curiosity about Thomas Griffin put her in the crosshairs of a terrorist group even more dangerous than MS-13?

Lou Ellen has always respected the veterans who served their country. One of the ways she shows her appreciation is serving at a local center twice a month. On Thanksgiving she meets a homeless vet who saves her from an attack. He has secrets that he’s not sharing and she leaves hoping her guys at Deep Six will be able to find more about her mysterious savior. Griff has suffered in the worse possible way after serving his country and giving his all. When he realizes he’s going to need help finding a young girl, who lives on the streets with him, he is all but ready to give up because he just doesn’t have what he needs to find her. But at the last moment, divine intervention in the form of Lou Ellen’s business card. What follows if fast paced, high octane, constantly moving, a little loving and lots of groveling. I really enjoyed this novella and all the characters. Dual POV Safe – no ow/om drama Possible Triggers – gang violence, past abuse for the children involved

Silent Knight? HOLY Knight!! I have always LOVED when Lou Ellen showed up in a book of Becky's, and Lou Ellen never disappoints. How wonderful it was for her to get her own book. But you have to wonder... What kind of guy could impress Lou Ellen. Enter Griff. Griff impressed me from the beginning, and I'm so glad we got to find an amazing love story that was perfect for these two. But wait....there's more. Throw in teenage siblings that open a whole can of worms for everyone, and you have the perfect recipe for an awesome ride. Do not miss this amazing story. It's so well developed, you will laugh and cry through the whole book! 6 stars!

Exciting!! I loved Lou Ellen and Griff's story! Lou Ellen is my idle when it comes to kicking butt but she also has such a BIG heart. When she runs into a problem she can't handle and Griff comes in to save her, he had me swooning!! He definitely is a Silent Knight! The perfect holiday story for the person who likes a little excitement in their romances!!
