When private investigator Cade Wilde agrees to protect NYC ballerina Jessica Sinclair from her dangerous ex, hiding her in his small town proves far more complicated than he expected.
To keep her safe, Cade must lie about why the glamorous dancer is in Candlewood Falls instead of performing The Nutcracker in Manhattan. So, when his family mistakenly believes they’re a couple, the unlikely duo plays along— and soon their sparking chemistry takes center stage.
As their fake relationship becomes all too real, their pasts—and family secrets—threaten to tear everything apart.
Can Cade and Jessica find love, justice, and a little Christmas magic amid the danger?
Find out in this heart-pounding holiday romantic suspense.
Whether her romances are set in a charmingly quirky small town or on a dangerous alien planet, award-winning author K.M. Fawcett writes emotional stories featuring underdogs and fish-out-of-water characters who find their place in the universe. She believes in happy endings, that humor is food for the soul, and that if true love can’t conquer it, then it probably deserves a good throat punch.
K.M. and her husband—the inspiration for all her heroes (and some of her villains)—own a dojo in NJ, where they teach Okinawan karate and weapons. Incorporating two decades of martial arts experience into her stories, she forges resilient, timeless characters who aren’t afraid to fight for the life and love they deserve.
