About this ebook
From New York Times bestselling author Mary Burton comes a captivating tale of romantic suspense set in the heart of a rugged winter . . .
Photographer Nicole Piper moved to Virginia hoping to put a troubled past behind her and start fresh with her baby daughter. But those hopes are dashed when she receives a very unwelcome Christmas gift—from her late husband. It’s a letter that holds clues to an elusive killer’s identity. The victim had helped save Nicole’s life—and paid with her own. Nicole owes it to her to follow the letter’s trail, and perhaps put to rest the fear that stalks her once and for all. But she can’t do it alone.
When Homicide Detective David Ayden first met Nicole, he was looking for a fresh start too. Widowed and raising two teenage boys, Nicole was the only woman who’d stirred his interest—and the attraction was mutual. But that was months ago and she wasn’t ready to trust again. Maybe she still isn’t. All that matters now is that she needs his help—even if it means embarking on a road trip that will take them both into the heart of danger—and desire . . .

Mary Burton never disappoints. Even though this is called Christmas Past its a true Romantic Suspense, with a Christmas nod here and there. Nicole comes from an abusive marriage, with a little girl. David is a widower, a cop with 2 teenage boys. This is a fast paced Novella with some steamy sex, an abusive husband reaching out from the grave, and wow what a twisted mind Richard had. and the road Nicole and David travel. I would recommend this to anyone who likes, suspense, thrillers, steamy sex and strong vulnerabile woman. Thank you for the arc. All thoughts an opinions are my own and were unsolicited
