Christmas in Cold Creek

By RaeAnne Thayne

She claimed to be a waitress and a single mother, but Rebecca Parsons doesn't look like any hash-slinger Pine Gulch Police Chief Trace Bowman has ever seen. And she doesn't seem particularly maternal toward her little girl, either. Still, one look in her vulnerable green eyes and his protective instincts go into overdrive.

Attention from local law enforcement is the last thing Becca needs. She'll do anything to protect her little sister Gabi from their con-artist mother, even lie about their identities. When Trace shows up at their house carrying a Christmas tree and stirring desires she can't afford to indulge, she longs to surrender to the magic of the season with him. But Becca's past is catching upfast. Can her sexy police chief perform a Christmas miracle?

Reviews for Christmas in Cold Creek

[fiberfool · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I really enjoyed this holiday tale! Lots of trials, tribulations and secrets that with the magic of the holidays get all tied up into a tidy Happy Ever After ending. A fairy tale of course, but full of cheer for the season.

If you want attraction w/o sex, this book is for you. He is the police chief and attracted to her. She just moved to his small town but appears to try and avoid him although she is attracted to him. A woman with a past and a lot of baggage. Interaction between main characters is worth the read. Her secrets are what makes the story.
