Silent Fight - Kristen Hogrefe Parnell

Nadine Rivas' vocal career crumbles after someone sabotages her private music studio with chlorine gas.

As a biotech company executive, Dante wants Nadine to relaunch her career by headlining his company's Christmas gala. More threats to their lives occur, and Nadine suspects her husband is the real target. She resolves to unmask the perpetrator at the gala, risking everything for the truth and another chance for their marriage.

The Light of Christmas - Lisa Phillips

Newly settled in as sheriff, Beau Mitchell is determined to prove Rend is no longer ruled by fear and corruption. Christmas should be a season of peace and restored trust-but Beau knows the past doesn't stay buried just because the town strings up lights.

True crime podcaster Heidi Walters arrives from New Hampshire with a secret agenda and no plan to stay. Officially, she's fixing up a neglected old mansion for the holidays. Unofficially, she's investigating the cold case no one in Rend wants reopened: her mother's murder thirty years ago. As Heidi digs through whispers and buried files, strange things at the mansion-footsteps, broken locks, missing notes, personal warnings-make it clear someone knows why she's there.

When the threats turn real, Beau must decide whether to stop Heidi or help her. Because if her mother's murder is tied to secrets still alive in Rend, someone will do anything to keep the truth buried.
