To bring her sister home for the holidays
They’ll put everything on the line.
Private investigator Shawn West is stunned when the attack victim he rescues is Addy Williams—the one woman he never forgot. She’s turning a quiet upstate New York town inside out to bring her missing sister home by Christmas. Shawn offers to help if she'll provide a cover for his own investigation into a suspicious company in town, but can they work together to find Addy's sister…or are they already too late?
In Missing at Christmas, nineteen-year-old Cassie Willams goes missing. When her older sister, Addy Williams goes to the police for help, she’s turned away because everyone questioned says Cassie returned to Manhattan, New York, and just doesn’t want to talk to Addy. Addy knows this isn’t true. The sisters are close and the only family they have is each other. Addy decides that if the police aren’t going to locate her sister, she will.
Addy spends a couple of days questioning people around her sister’s apartment and places Cassie may hangout with no luck. The last person Addy expects to see in Bentham, New York is Shawn West, the man with whom she shared an incredible weekend six months earlier. Shawn isn’t just passing through Bentham. He’s actually in town doing an investigation for one of West Investigations' top clients. When Shawn finds out that Cassie is missing and was working for the company he’s investigating, he offers to help Addy look for her sister without revealing his true motives.
I LOVED Missing at Christmas. I was hooked from the opening paragraph. K.D. has written a story with twists, turns, and surprises. Shawn was a good character but Addy was amazing. She seems unassuming, but she’s anything but. I loved her calmness and steadfast determination. If all of K.D.’s books are like this, then she definitely has a new fan in me. I’m looking forward to going back to read the first book, Pursuit of the Truth, as well as the third book, Christmas Data Breach, and the upcoming fourth book, Shielding Her Son.
