Luke's Gift Lib/E Kaylie Newell

After serving in the army, Luke Harlow returns home in time for the holidays to help his brothers raise their twelve-year-old half sister. With his new job as Marietta's police officer, Luke finds himself in the middle of a festive mystery that the entire town will want solved before Christmas morning.

Mary Best is Marietta Courier's most promising young reporter. When she starts spending time with sexy Luke Harlow to write an article about his heroic military service, she begins to suspect there's more to this new police recruit than meets the eye. He's kind, generous, and very mysterious. When anonymous gifts start appearing around town for people in need, Mary knows there's a story there. A magical one. It doesn't take long for the breadcrumbs to lead right back to Luke.

As the gifts pile up, so does everyone's urge to unmask Marietta's secret Santa. Luke is deeply private, and Mary is deeply curious-opposites who'll find themselves tumbling toward each other amidst the snowy backdrop of a town fully embraced in the spirit of Christmas. But when Mary uncovers Luke's secret, will she be able to bury her reporter's instincts for the sake of love? And will Luke finally be able to trust someone with his heart?
