Scarlet Season

She was hanging the stockings by the chimney with care -- when she witnessed a hit-and-run that left the victim near death. Cassie Craig abandoned her beautiful window display to call for help, but by the time it arrived, the man had vanished and the night was silent. Someone was covering up a murder... and she was the only witness.

With no evidence, the police wrote it off. Only one cop believed her -- one she didn't trust. Mitch Dempsey had been the love of her life, until he left her two years ago -- harboring a pain he couldn't share. His belief was their bridge, her tormentor their test. This Christmas, Cassie would have to learn to trust him all over again -- her life depended on it.
