Now the Tracker is coming for her; as she flees she must decide whether she can trust Jeff, whom she does not realize that she has loved for a long time.

"Still of the Night" by Dee Davis. The phone call saved Widow Jenny Fitzgerald's life. Now she is on the run from a killer who wants her silent after murdering her husband and her best friend. The culprit hunts Jenny giving her no time to grieve her losses even if she was about to divorce her spouse. No place or person seems safe; can she trust even the caller who saved her life?

"Wounded" by Evelyn Rogers. During the snowstorm, Tessa Hampton finds the wounded man severely injured on her property. She wonders who is he and has he brought trouble to her isolated property.

These three wintry suspense thrillers with touches of romance hook readers from the start of each tale and never let's go until the final altercation occurs. The heroine in danger story lines will have readers freezing while on the lam alongside the females in peril.

Summary: Silent Night
Review: **** Throughout this trio of stories runs a common thread, a woman is in danger, and must rely on the man who loves her, even though she may not realize he does to help her save herself. Beginning with a college girl lost in the woods running from danger, going to a woman who learns the man she wanted to be rid of has a secret, and ending with a DEA agent involved in a suspense filled mission, each one will hold you riveted. The strongest of the three is Dee Davis' entry, the middle story, with enough plot twists and romance to fill a full length novel. ****

"Get out of there. Now."

With those urgently whispered words from the other end of the phone line Jenny Fitzgerald's life turns from bad to worse. It's Christmas time and her estranged husband, Connor, was just killed in the line of duty. Granted, they were getting a divorce, but his death gives her no real closure. The phone call saves her life as two killers enter her home and she is caught in a tangled web woven by the revelation that Connor was a dirty cop, working both sides of the law.

Turning to Connor's former partner for help and unexpected comfort, she tries to stay one step ahead of the killers as they try to figure out what the killers are after.

Dee Davis just gets better with each story she writes. In Still of the Night, the second story in the Silent Night anthology, she successfully marries gripping suspense and heart-pounding romance. This exciting thriller had me devouring the chapters in rapid succession, eagerly anticipating what shocking plot twist Davis hands her readers next. Ms. Davis is truly a rising star in the romantic suspense genre and has a talent for pulling the reader in and making them hang on her every written word. Look out Linda Howard, here comes Dee Davis.
