Deadly Christmas Pretense CoverA cowboy to her rescue…but she’s not who he thinks she is.
Posing as her sister for Christmas is the only way to save her, but Maggie Lofton needs help—even if it means working with her twin’s cowboy ex-boyfriend, Liam Pike. But between the bull’s-eye on her back and the dangerous connection she’s forming with Liam, Maggie’s mission is harder than expected. Will their tenuous partnership be enough to shield her when the killer closes in?
Book #2 in the Roughwater Ranch Cowboys series


My Thoughts

"Deadly Christmas Pretense" is the second book in the Roughwater Ranch Cowboys series and it was fun to get to see the characters we had gotten to know from the first book. I enjoyed reading this story. It kept me turning pages to see what was going to happen next. Liam was sweet and caring, but also fiercely protective. Maggie was humble and determined to help. Dana Mentink is an expert at writing characters that make you love them...or hate them! I look forward to reading more books by Dana Mentink.

More from Dana

I just love Christmas, don’t you? In our area we have a lovely holiday train. It’s an old steam type train which is decked out in lights for festive holiday tours. I was so thrilled that this cover features just such a train. Of course, in the novel the train is the scene of hair raising danger! Maggie, our heroine in this novel, is a cook. She serves up some mouth watering dishes (when she’s not dodging a killer.) I thought perhaps you might enjoy a Mentink holiday family recipe! God bless you as we enter this holiday season!
