From USA Today best-selling author Roxanne Rustand comes another heartwarming, character-driven novel in her popular Northern Pines Suspense series, featuring Clean Romantic Suspense. A touch of suspense, page-turning twists... and with their forced proximity, maybe there's even an unexpected second chance at love.

A PAINFUL SECRET. A SECOND CHANCE. AND A HOPE FOR A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE, IF THEY CAN JUST HEAL FROM THEIR PAST...
After a painful divorce, small-town bookstore owner, Beth Carrigan, has rebuilt a quiet life in northern Wisconsin. The last thing she expects is her ex-husband Devlin -- a decorated Marine -- coming back with life-changing news: his late mother's will binds them together for six months with a shocking ultimatum.

To secure the future they each desperately need -- Beth's beloved bookstore and Dev's full inheritance -- they must work side by side for six months to manage his mother's stately home, now a temporary refuge for down-on-their-luck residents. It's a daunting mission that requires compassion, cooperation... and working together despite their painful divorce.

But someone doesn't want them to succeed.

A string of "accidents" becomes increasingly dangerous. Sabotage, secrets, and a long-held grudge threaten not just their second chance at love but the lives of others.

This Christmas, healing a broken heart will be the least of her worries.
