One minute, probation officer Mallory Larsen is handing out hand-knitted Christmas gifts. The next, there's a gun at her head--and a bomb exploding. Fellow probation officer Shamus Burke saves her life, and she'll be sure to thank him for it...once she gets his assistance again. A girl's life depends on Mallory, and no one but Shamus can help her do what needs to be done. As the threats against Mallory escalate, she shows Shamus she won't back down on saving anyone--including him. But now someone's dead set on stopping them both from ever celebrating Christmas together.
This is a great book. I really enjoyed it! Shamus and Mallory are quite a pair. Mallory is sweet and kind and wants to help everyone, while Shamus is, well pretty cynical. However, by the end of the book he has changed into a rather likable character. Anyway, Mallory promised one of her men on parole that she would find his daughter, so she sets out on a mission to do so. Along the way she and Shamus (who feels an obligation to protect Mallory) receive all kinds of threats. This book has a great story line. I finished in a couple of days!
