Frost and Fire

Frost and Fire

Noel Undercover Series - Book Two**

By Justin S. Simpson

A Christmas gala. A hidden past. A killer who never left the shadows.

Nina Carver has learned to live with the cold-cold cases, cold nights, and the cold ache of her sister's disappearance. But when she's assigned to protect a high-profile holiday gala, the last thing she expects is to come face-to-face with the one truth she's spent years trying to escape:

the killer she has hunted is closer than she ever imagined... and he's been hiding in plain sight.

The gala sparkles with lights, music, and perfect holiday cheer, but beneath the champagne and glitter lies a web of secrets waiting to detonate. A single name on the guest list cracks open Nina's frozen past. A familiar face stirs memories she's buried beneath frost and fury. And when a chilling pattern of attacks emerges-each one echoing the same signature as her sister's last night alive-Nina realizes this is no coincidence.

Someone here knows exactly who she is.

Someone wants her off the trail.

And someone has added Nina's name to a very deadly Christmas list.

As snow deepens around the event and tensions erupt like wildfire, Nina is forced to confront the lies she's been told, the truth she feared, and the secrets the host has guarded far too closely. Every clue pushes her deeper into a dangerous maze where every choice burns, every discovery cuts, and every moment could be her last.

But vengeance has a price.

Justice has a cost.

And in this blizzard of betrayal and fire, Nina must decide whether she's willing to sacrifice everything to unmask the one person she swore she'd never let escape again.

Frost and Fire is a heart-pounding, emotionally charged thriller packed with twists, suspense, heartbreak, and a final reveal that will leave you breathless-and desperate for Book Three.
