      Suspected of a crime she knows she didn’t commit...

      All she wants for Christmas is to remember.

      Blood on her blouse. A gun in her hand. A cartel leader’s dead body in front of her. Widow Asia Stratton can’t remember what happened—just that she’s been framed. The only way to prove her innocence is to work with her ex-sweetheart, Nebraska state trooper Slade Jackson. But can they clear her name before this Christmas turns even deadlier?

      SHAREE STOVER is a Colorado native transplanted to Nebraska, where she lives with her husband, three children and two dogs. Her mother instilled in her the love of books before Sharee could read, along with the promise “If you can read, you can do anything.” When she’s not writing, she enjoys time with her family, long walks with her obnoxiously lovable German shepherd and crocheting. Find her at shareestover.com or on Twitter, @shareestover.

      “If they run us off the road, we’re dead!”

      Slade accelerated, hoping to outrun the pursuers, but the truck stayed close behind.

      Another slam propelled them sideways.

      Slade jerked the wheel, and his response had the car deviating through the ice-covered median as he battled the velocity forcing them out of control.

      Heart jackhammering against his ribs, Slade pumped the brakes, but the car seemed to have a mind of its own and continued to speed up.

      Asia screamed, and he jerked the wheel, avoiding a mile-marker pole by inches.

      “I don’t have brakes!” He slammed his foot repeatedly against the pedal, but it was useless.

      “Slade, do something!”

      But he couldn’t stop.

      Desperate, Slade yanked the wheel. The overcorrection sent the car careening into the ditch. “Hang on!”

      They slammed on the driver’s side, went airborne, then smashed down again. The impact shook every part of his body.

      Each horrific recurring tug of gravity imprisoned them on a nightmare amusement park ride...

      What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

      —Psalm 56:3

      Dear Reader,

      I hope you’ve enjoyed Asia and Slade’s adventures in Silent Night Suspect.

      These characters are especially dear to me because they’ve carried such heavy burdens for so long. Asia’s perceptions have tainted the way she sees everyone, even God. Slade realizes extending a tiny olive branch leads to his own healing.

      If you’re carrying a heavy burden or feeling like the storm is never going to pass, I hope you find encouragement in Asia and Slade’s story. Rest assured, you’re never alone in the Lord and good can come from even the worst circumstances.

      I love hearing from readers, so please find me on my webpage at www.shareestover.com, or email me at [email protected].

      May the source of all our hope bless you,
