He’s making a list… and you’re on it.
Attorney Caldwell Beck wanted a quiet Christmas getaway in Santa Fe with his fiancée, Holly, including a little snow, a few lights, and a long-overdue break from the courtroom grind. But when a ruthless corporate fixer known only as Santa delivers an ultimatum—withdraw a high-stakes motion or she dies—the holidays turn from romantic to deadly.
With a cold-blooded enforcer named Lou Dawg closing in and a billion-dollar lawsuit hanging in the balance, Caldwell is forced into a race against time through the snowy streets of New Mexico. Every move he makes is being watched. Every decision could cost him Holly’s life—or his own.
When Christmas turns deadly, justice comes wrapped in revenge.
A fast, fierce legal thriller packed with suspense, betrayal, and holiday danger.
