Her Marine training hadn’t quite prepared her for saving St. Nick. Like most of her childhood bad deeds, a grown-up Megan Lynx regretted her nickname for Nicolas North, her brother's best friend from college. The too-nice guy she openly admired and secretly desired was determined to play Santa in the local Christmas parade even though a crazed shooter stalked him. Megan promised her brother she would guard the man they both cared deeply about. But who was going to guard Megan's heart against the temptation to explore a childhood crush that had never gone away? She couldn’t let a passion for her geeky St. Nick distract her. Not until she’d managed to save her favorite Santa. AUTHOR NOTE: This is a very contemporary Christmas story featuring a young female Marine, her longtime childhood friend and crush, and a stalker determined to keep them from living happily ever after. It's a holiday romantic suspense story but also packed with family laughs and a solid female best friend. This story will leave you smiling. Promise.
