Silent Night Stakeout by Kerry Connor

All Regina Garrett wanted this holiday season was some R&R. Instead she is entangled in a murder investigation with the personal protection of a very sexy homicide detective.

Convincing her it’d be safest if he stayed on her couch, Marcus prepares for a string of sleepless nights. As a cop, having Regina a few feet away is smart. As a man, it's pure torture.

Luke Hubbard never claimed to have a soft spot for damsels in distress. But the moment he set eyes on Karina Fedrova, a mysterious beauty with assassins on her trail, turning her away was impossible.
