A Town Without Pity, Book 4

By: Sandy Appleyard

Narrated by: Sandy Appleyard

An unexpected union. A mystery intruder. A miracle. And a wedding that threatens the family.

After an abrupt departure from her previous career, Presley never expects to be so well received at the rival company, despite the null and void NDA and questionable, discreet reason why she parted ways. But Presley was not raised to mosey her way through life. Having been raised by her aunt after her parent’s death, she’s bumped uglies with many things, some of which she’s dealt with accordingly, and some she has not.

Will is fed up with his deadbeat IT manager, and so he praises Presley’s headstrong and intelligent ways when she takes over that department. Just five minutes with this woman has him hooked, and soon he realizes just how much her heart is in the job. It’s unprecedented to him, and he finds himself jumping through hoops to happily show her his accolades, including promoting her to COO before her probationary period is up.

When the holidays arrive, it comes to light that Presley will be flying solo for Christmas, and Will is having none of it. After a simple horse-riding lesson, a new Stetson, and a bottle of wine, Will starts to see Presley in a whole new light, and the feeling is mutual. A night of sheer terror, not passion, ensues, and the bond between Will and Presley is tightened, but not in a way that they expect. Between Will’s sister Laura being hospitalized and a mystery guest trying to break into the company on Christmas Day, Will and Presley find themselves pressing through and finding strength and comfort in each other.

But Presley’s secret is part of what fuels the hunt for the mystery intruder, along with a laundry list of potential suspects who have both threatened and who have actually harmed family members in the past. Problem is, most of those lowlifes are already serving time. Just when the family is about to welcome another member into their already blissfully happy family, the perpetrator strikes at the right time, and at the wrong time. Will this person live to tell, or will the Kelsey family band together and crush them in the way that only the Kelsey family can?

A tale of two alike people who have lived very different lives, but find common ground and strength in each other. A combination best friends to lovers and office romance that will lift your spirits and make you believe in miracles. This has a special Christmas twist, but it can be enjoyed all year round.
