Frozen Hearts. Laurel Heights

How do you open your heart for a new love when it's frozen? That's the dilemma Margaret Taylor has faced since losing her beloved husband. Demands as a Judge and the Mayor of Laurel Heights has left very little time for being just Margaret. She signs up with a tour group to take the dream vacation she and her husband planned to go on, a land and sea tour of Alaska. Over the year's she's received threats and has recognized them as all part of the job.
When she receives three life-threatening notes, her family urges her to cancel her vacation. She refuses. Her much needed vacation takes an unexpected turn when she recognizes one of the other people in the tour group. Why is Brent Saeger walking around free? He was sentenced to life in prison for murder. Brent Saeger believes that life was guided by fate and one should never do a "favor" because it came with unexpected consequences.
His favor for the CIA landed him in prison for murder. Fate had another undercover operative in the right time and place that proved Brent's innocence. Working for Adams Security and Investigations, he gets a special assignment. He's to go undercover and protect the owner's mother-in-law, Margaret Taylor. She'd be more receptive to meeting an old friend. He can't tell her his real purpose for being there.
Fate once again sucker punched him. Protect his Maggie May. That shouldn't be a problem since his heart has been frozen since she fell in love with his best friend. A romantic suspense with twists and turns that will keep you turning pages to the very end.
