This Christmas, the only gift she didn't expect was love.

Ally is done living in fear. For five long years, her powerful ex has dragged her through courts and lies, using his wealth to keep her under his thumb. All she wants is to protect her daughter, Charlotte, and give her a chance at peace. A fresh start in the small town of Pride feels like the perfect escape, until the one man she shouldn't trust steals her heart.

Joe, a former cop turned private investigator, took the job expecting to uncover dirt on a mother accused of keeping her daughter away from his client. Instead, he finds Ally, a fiercely devoted woman whose kindness shakes his beliefs to the core. When Joe sees the truth behind the lies he was fed... and realizes he's been working for the real villain. Now, he'll risk everything to protect Ally and Charlotte from the monster determined to tear them apart.
