Synopsis

Book 7 in the Cassandra Farbanks Series. All she wants for Christmas...is for no-one else to die! Death, kidnap, and betrayal. Three things no one wants for Christmas. Unfortunately for Cassandra, this year's end looks bleak. With agents of her father in town, the blame for the death of a prominent member of the community laid at her feet, and a case involving the murder of several expectant mothers, it looks like she might have her hands too full to celebrate. Things are happening that might change Cassandra's world forever. Without causing more death, she is powerless to stop it. She must know more if she is to survive. Knowledge is power but power comes at a cost. When all is revealed, will Cassandra be ready to pay the price?
