Harper Shelby thought that she had put her past behind her when she moved to a secluded cabin in the woods. Four years before her sister and niece had been murdered. When the investigation started to look like she might be involved she had lost everything. When the killer was finally caught Harper decided to pack up her life and move. No one knew where she lived or how she makes her living. When Logan Fitzgerald drives up her driveway, Harper's life is once again turned upside down. Logan works for HEART. HEART was hired by Harper's brother-in-law to find her. When bullets start to fly it's up to both Logan and Harper to find the truth behind this mystery.

DEADLY CHRISTMAS SECRETS is action packed form the beginning to the end. I absolutely loved Harper. Even though she has been a through endless hurt, questioned everything she believed in she still keeps her head held high. She is a character that you can easily identify with. Logan is everything that you want in a hero. He is strong, confident, sexy, and yet when it comes to Harper he is always gentle and kind. Both characters have traits that they admire in each other. They just have a hard time trusting what they are feeling. The other HEART members that come into the story add another great component to the main characters.

DEADLY CHRISTMAS SECRETS is the fourth book in Shirlee McCoy's Mission: Rescue series. I have not read any of the previous books in the series. There are characters in DEADLY CHRISTMAS SECRETS that I felt had been introduced in previous books, but I didn't feel like I was out of the loop on something. This book is very well written. It's a story with faith, love, hope, and a whole lot of mystery. I can't wait to see what is in store for the HEART organization and what new characters we will see.

Book Summary

THE CHRISTMAS TARGET

When new evidence surfaces that Harper Shelby's niece is possibly alive, Harper doesn't expect it to endanger her life. For her protection, she has to put her much-guarded trust in Logan Fitzgerald, the man who unknowingly led a killer to her doorstep. Hired to track Harper down, security and rescue expert Logan doesn't like that he's been used to find a woman who someone apparently wants dead. Now he won't leave Harper's side until he can guarantee her safety and untangle the truth from the lies regarding her sister's and niece's murders. The closer they get to finding answers, the more intent the killer becomes on making sure that there won't be a family reunion—or happily-ever-after—for Harper this Christmas.
