Duty and danger bring an alpha hero to Mystery, Montana
Waylon Fitzgerald had a life of adventure all planned out—one that did not include returning to his family’s ranch to bring his missing ex-wife into custody for murder. With so much bad blood between them, the sexy military police officer understands why his ex’s sister, Christina Bell, hates him. And yet he and Christina spark a sizzling attraction.
What changes everything for Waylon is Winnie, Christina’s adorable ward…and the startling revelation that he’s her father. When she goes missing—her mother a killer at large—Waylon’s world is upended. Will he redeploy to follow his passions around the world…or stay where his heart has found an unexpected Christmas present?
Mystery Christmas
“Everything’s going to be okay, Waylon. Nothing has to change,” Christina started.
The knot of nerves in his belly tightened. Now he was sure everything was about to flip on its head.
“My sister made a lot of mistakes. You know most of them. Heck, you were the victim of most of her poor decisions,” Christina continued, as she ran her fingers over the back of his hand. “But, there was one mistake… Well, not mistake, but rather an error in judgment that…well… We all… We…”
“We are just as much at fault as Alli,” his mother said, her voice high with nerves. “We should have told you sooner. Years ago, but—”
“Wait,” he said, with a raise of the hand. “What exactly should you have told me years ago?”
“It’s about Winnie…” Christina began.
His heart stopped at the sound of the little girl’s name.
Christina looked up at him and her eyes were filled with a look of apologetic fear. “Winnie is yours, Waylon. She’s your daughter.”

It was Waylon Fitzgerald’s firm belief that most people were the same when it came to their wants. People were driven to desire four major things: good-enough sex, at least a comfortable amount of money, to be happy most of the time and to find someone to love them. Lucky for him, he’d never been like most people. His dreams were so much bigger—he wanted it all, and more. He wanted to travel the world, to help those in need, to live the dream and have a life driven by passion—not by good enough.
The helicopter’s headset crackled to life. “Where do you want me to put her down?” The pilot motioned out the window of the Black Hawk as they passed over the stock pond in the pasture where his mother normally put the horses out this time of year.
His family wasn’t going to like that he was bringing the helicopter to the ranch, but thanks to the disappearance of his ex-wife, Waylon had had to catch the next available flight. As luck would have it, his friend was relocating bases from Fort Bragg to Fort Lewis and he got to come along for the ride.
He’d always
