Hold a Candle

Murder before coffee is never the way to start the day...

Interrupting a break-in and finding a body wasn't how Jaime MacNamara planned to begin his day at the business office of The Happy Housekeepers.

The scene heats up when Detective Superintendent Pauley McBride arrives, virtually accusing him of murder. As beautiful as she is bold, the hard-bitten detective stirs an interest in Jamie that has been absent since the death of his wife three years ago. He was sure that no other woman could hold a candle to his Rhonda, but Pauley might just prove him wrong.

Divorced, disillusioned, and burned out on men, DS Pauley McBride isn't holding out much hope for the kind of relationship she wants. She longs for a partner who will respect her career, support her ambitions, and perhaps even fulfill her secret desires. Yet when the handsome and dominant Jamie MacNamara catches her eye, she's intrigued.

As All Hallow's Eve approaches, Jamie and Pauley find themselves seeking refuge at Heaven's Gate for Pauley's son, Luca.  Amid the eerie happenings and the lurking dangers of the night, will they discover the love and trust they've both been searching for?
