Christmas Amnesia. Laura Scott

      

      MISTLETOE MEMORY LOSS

      Assaulted a week before a high-profile drug trafficking trial, assistant district attorney Madison Callahan narrowly escapes death...but suffers amnesia. Now, when she can’t recall the identity of her attacker, everyone is suspect—except the handsome policeman who saved her. Officer Noah Sinclair will do anything to bring the mob-connected drug trafficker to justice, including providing personal protection to Madison—the sister of the partner he nearly got killed. But helping her regain her memory may end their unlikely alliance because once she remembers him, Noah might be the last man she’ll want to rely on. As the trial looms and with the assailant dead set on ensuring that Madison doesn’t survive to see Christmas, it’ll take everything Noah’s got to keep Madison alive.

      The way Noah watched the parking lot, sweeping his gaze over the area, made Maddy nervous.

      Surely he didn’t think they’d be ambushed here? No, it was more likely that he was just being a cop.

      The minutes ticked by with excruciating slowness, but then a large black K-9 SUV pulled into the parking lot, the twin headlights bright amid the dusky shadows.

      Maddy headed for the door. Noah moved lightning-fast, grasping her arm, halting her progress.

      “Hold on a minute, Maddy.” He pushed her behind him. “I’m going first, just in case.”

      She didn’t want Noah in harm’s way, but he was wearing the vest that had saved his life once before. She grasped the back of his utility belt, determined to follow close on his heels.

      Outside, her gaze centered on the black SUV she could see parked in a spot that was facing the bowling alley. The driver-side door opened and a man climbed out. Her brother turned and the moment she saw his face, the missing puzzle pieces clicked into place.

      She let go of Noah and rushed around him in a hurry to reach her brother.

      “Get down!” Noah shouted just before the boom of a gun echoed through the parking lot.

      Dear Reader,

      Christmas Amnesia is the third book in my Callahan Confidential miniseries. Thanks to all of you who wrote to me letting me know how much you’re enjoying the Callahans. This book revolves around Assistant District Attorney Madison “Maddy” Callahan.

      When Maddy is assaulted outside the courthouse, she loses her memory, a catastrophe since she’s preparing for the biggest trial of her career. Office Noah Sinclair arrives at the hospital in time to save her life, and while he certainly knows Maddy, she doesn’t remember him. As Maddy tries to remember and flees the gunman chasing after her, she soon realizes Noah is the only man she can trust, with her life and with her heart.

      I hope you enjoy Noah and Maddy’s story. I’m also hard at work on the next book in the Callahan Confidential Series. I love hearing from my readers.
