Eden Martelli is too busy fleeing the clutches of danger to realize she’s running straight into the arms of a new love.
Speeding north through rural Maine, Eden Martelli wonders how her life came to this—on the run with her mute five-year-old son dozing fitfully in the passenger seat. When a breakdown leaves them stranded in Summer Harbor, Eden has no choice but to stay put through Christmas . . . even though they have no place to lay their heads.
Beau Callahan is a habitual problem solver—for other people anyway. He left the sheriff’s department to take over his family’s Christmas tree farm, but he’s still haunted by the loss of his parents and struggling to handle his first Christmas alone.
When Eden shows up looking for work just as Beau’s feisty aunt gets out of the hospital, Beau thinks he’s finally caught a break. Eden is competent and dedicated—if a little guarded—and a knockout to boot. But, as he soon finds out, she also comes with a boatload of secrets.
Eden has been through too much to trust her heart to another man, but Beau is impossible to resist, and the feeling seems to be mutual. As Christmas Eve approaches, Eden’s past catches up to her.
Beau will go to the ends of the earth to keep her safe. But who’s going to protect his heart from a woman who can’t seem to trust again?

Thoughts:
I can't believe that I have never read any of Denise Hunter's books before. She is a new author for me.
From the very first page I was drawn in and the words intrigued me. I was really enjoying the book from the first chapter. I liked that the chapters were on the smaller side as I get quite busy during my day and find it hard to get through a chapter, so this was great for me. As you can imagine each chapter only got better from there on in. I know a lot of people are saying that this book was not as good as some of her others, but I haven't read any of her others and this was great for me. So if the others are better I can't wait to read them all. In this book there is the element of danger and a mix of romance and suspense .I liked the characters and their relationships and interaction with one another. I have to say that I believe I have found another author that I love and will be testing out all of her books.
I would give this book and the cover a 5 Star rating. This is a book you will want to put on your must-read list. You will enjoy it.
