Title: As Silent as the Night He can procure anything, except his heart’s deepest wish. She might hold the key, if she’s not discovered first.
Chicago, 1933―Lucia Critelli will do anything for her ailing grandfather, including stand in a breadline to have enough food to make him a St. Nicholas Day meal. When she catches the eye of a goon who threatens her grandfather, she discovers the end of Prohibition doesn’t mean the end of the mafia’s criminal activity. Retired Marine Scout Giosue “Gio” Vella can find anything, especially if it helps a fellow Italian immigrant, so he has no doubt he can locate his neighbor’s granddaughter, who has gone missing from a local church. Keeping her safe is another matter. Especially when he chooses to hide out with his Marine buddy in Eagle, Wisconsin, the site of a barely-held truce among striking dairy farmers. Will Christmas bring the miracle they all need or will Gio discover there are some things even he can’t find, particularly when he stumbles upon the most elusive gift of all: love.PURCHASE LINKS: Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes & Noble | BookBub
EXCERPT- A Strike to the Heart
Pieter gave a sharp bark and trotted to the picture window. Smokey raised his floppy ears from
his spot curled at Miles’s side. Miles’s senses went on alert, but Lily offered an innocuous
explanation.
“It’s their dinnertime.” She gathered the empty mugs. Smokey scrambled to the floor to trot after
her.
“May I at least see you to the barn?” Trailing them, Miles shoved his hands in his pockets.
“Because you want my company, or because you’re worried about me going out there in the
dark?” Lily gave him a sideways glance before heading into the back room where she shrugged
on a coat and slipped her feet into work boots.
Both, but he’d stay away from the personal. “Well, Pieter did seem to hear something. And we
never got to discuss why you think you’re the bait.” Miles followed her outside. The dogs
brushed past and headed straight for the barn.
Lily stayed beside him, her voice quiet. “It’s just that the lethal danger started when you rescued
me.”
The moon that had been so brilliant last night—romantic, even—was now eclipsed by clouds.
Darkness covered the fields in an inky blanket. Not even a breeze stirred the corn. The hair on
the back of his neck rose—and not because of her observation.
“Come with me.” He grabbed Lily’s hand and hurried her toward the deepest shadows against
the barn wall. “You shouldn’t be exposed out here.”
“Miles?”
“Just humor me. Call your dogs and stay as quiet as possible while I make sure the barn is
secure.” He pulled his Colt from his holster.
She gave a gasp so similar to the fearful one Mrs. St. Thomas had uttered earlier that it went
straight to Miles’s heart. Throwing ramifications to the wind, he placed a gentle kiss on her
forehead. Added a whispered prayer for her safety. Then disappeared into the barn.
