Upon a Midnight Clear"With no family to call her own, Fiona Larkin was happy to share her Christmas turkey with the four-legged inhabitants of the Oak Hill Pet Motel--until she spotted a mysterious two-legged intruder lurking about the grounds. Captivating security consultant Eli Becker was her only hope. But Eli had plans for Christmas, and they sure didn't include traipsing around after Fiona, looking for an intruder he didn't believe existed. Not that the pert pet-sitter wasn't tempting beyond reason, still he had better things to do with his holiday time. Then Eli found himself with the lovely Fiona in his arms...and suddenly the security business become very, very complicated."--Back cover. |
