America's sweetheart is eight months pregnant, grounded by her doctor, hounded by paparazzi—and dreaming of the one thing money can't buy in Miami.
Snow.
Elle Sinclair has spent her career giving the cameras everything but the truth. The tabloids have "identified" her mystery man fourteen times. They've never once gotten it right—because Devon "Shadow" Kane doesn't get photographed. Ever. It's a professional habit from a career he's still not allowed to talk about.
So when Devon catches his wife sighing at snow-globe Christmases she can't fly to, he does what he's always done with an impossible objective.
He plans a mission.
OPERATION: AVALANCHE — twenty tons of snow, four machines, one crooked mountain, a decoy op to send every long lens in South Florida to the wrong hotel, twelve children sworn to secrecy, and the entire Steele Security family executing the most classified Christmas in Miami history.
The plan is flawless. The team is ready. There's just one variable no operator can control:
Their baby girl—due in two weeks—who takes one look at the falling snow and decides she's not waiting for the end of the song.
A white Christmas. A wild ride to the hospital. And a man who's spent his whole life in the shadows, about to be handed the brightest thing he's ever held.
The Steele Security team returns for a Christmas story full of banter, babies, one immaculate truck, and a family that never leaves anyone out—especially not Mama Liz. Best enjoyed after Wicked Shadows, but new readers are welcome at this table. Somebody will explain the funeral.
Genre: Romance
