The Christmas season is stressful enough for Brennan without a botched kidnapping and the arrival of her estranged husband to “save the day.” She’s now stuck with a grouchy Air Force Major as a houseguest—one she might still be in love with. The second book in Tara Quan’s Safe Harbor series, A Christmas Together, is an interracial contemporary romance about unexpected attraction, second chances, and a love that crosses all boundaries. Despite Dubai’s oppressive heat, heiress Brennan Caruthers is gearing up to throw a holiday party. She has almost everything a modern woman could want—a tight-knit circle of friends, challenging career, financial independence, and an impressive shoe collection. But when armed men attempt to kidnap her straight off a six-lane highway, she’s forced to revisit her past, and ends up spending the nights leading to Christmas with a man she’d rather forget. Major Karl Reed can’t imagine a worse end to his year. Cover blown and mission details leaked, his Delta unit and their families have become targets of a vengeful criminal cell. After receiving news of a failed attack on his estranged wife, he rushes to the Emirates to whisk her into hiding. But when his damsel in distress digs in her stiletto heels and presents him with a better plan, he’s forced to become her unwelcome houseguest. Assuming he keeps them both alive, they might just celebrate their first Christmas together.
