A NAIL-BITING PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER WITH ONE OF THE BIGGEST TWISTS YOU’LL READ THIS YEAR. 

After choir practice for midnight mass, college sophomore Rose Grandon takes a short-cut through Harbor Park. Grabbed from behind, she is violently assaulted, beaten and left for dead. 

The last thing she hears is a tenor voice singing Silent Night. 

Several hours later, the police find Rose lying in a ditch. Badly beaten — but alive. 

As she recovers in hospital, Rose is told she’s pregnant. She has a terrible choice to make. She decides to keep the baby. 

Nine months later, she gives birth to a beautiful baby girl. She names her Mary. 

Rose lives quietly in her small Connecticut hometown raising her daughter — the one good thing to come out of her horrible ordeal. She begins to get her old self back.

But her evil attacker has never been caught. He strikes twice a year. Once on Christmas Eve, once on Christmas Day.

And until he’s behind bars, Rose and her baby can never be safe. 

But now he’s found out he has a daughter. And that changes everything . . . 

AN EXHILARATING BLEND OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SUSPENSE, NAIL-BITING TENSION AND A SHATTERING FINAL TWIST. 

Perfect for fans of Frieda McFadden, Daniel Hurst, T.M. Logan, Patricia MacDonald and Shari Lapena.
