      TANGLED PAST

      After Ian Stone discovers he was kidnapped when he was a baby, he journeys to his “family’s” hometown—and is shot at shortly after he arrives. Now he’s convinced the Spencers don’t want their long-lost brother, Luke, to return and claim his inheritance. But local chief of police Sylvie Laurent doesn’t believe his siblings would try to kill him. And the stubborn woman is determined to protect him until she uncovers the truth. At first, Sylvie is skeptical of Ian’s story...but he bears a strong resemblance to the Spencers. And they’ll have to work together to stay ahead of the danger if they want to live to see him reunited with his family at Christmas.

      “Did you just arrive in Norcastle?” she asked pointedly. He could tell she was fishing.

      “I came in on the bus last night.”

      “Were people shooting at you before you came to town?”

      “Nope. Is this how you welcome newcomers?”

      “Hardly. I’d lose my job for sure. I will find out who did this, Mr. Stone.”

      “Oh, that’s easy. I already know who wants me dead.” He grunted as he slipped his arms in a chambray shirt, stained with dirt from many hours on the job.

      “Well, do tell. I can’t help you if you’re withholding information.”

      “The Spencers.”

      Sylvie let out a laugh. Such a loud, robust sound for a little lady. Ian pictured the chief of police issuing orders in the same tone. People would take notice of her, although she’d had his attention long before she opened her mouth to speak.
