The Last Noel
Christian Christmas romantic suspense
The Last Noel
This Christmas romantic-suspense collection brings together stories in which the holidays arrive alongside danger rather than peace. One heroine is pulled into trouble after a foster sister leaves children in her care, while another faces a high-stakes legal threat as a former fiancé reenters her life; a third story centers on a hometown food-truck competition with old feelings in the mix. Across the novellas, reunited couples and reluctant allies must protect people they love while confronting unfinished business from the past. The collection combines seasonal warmth with crime, suspense, second chances, and faith under pressure.
