Threats lurk in the shadows this Christmas season.

It was strange enough when a woman Daniel Nolan had taken on one date suddenly showed up everywhere he went, but when he discovered her in his college apartment, he knew he had to go to campus police—who did little but snicker when he made his report. Headed home to Nutfield for Christmas break, Daniel decides not to tell his police-detective father. The last thing he wants is for Dad to think he's scared of a girl. Which he's not, of course. He just wants her to leave him alone. He's looking forward to a fun, relaxing, and stalker-free holiday at home with his family.

After Mom abandoned the family—and with Dad away so often on business—Star Brightwell stepped into the role of cook, cleaner, and babysitter to her younger siblings. On top of that, she's stuck with organizing the live nativity—which used to be Mom's job—at the annual Christmas festival. Star can't let the program be cancelled. It would devastate her siblings to lose this tradition, especially after Mom's betrayal. Between her ornery brothers and sisters, her job, and now the nativity, she's alone and overwhelmed and can't wait for the season to be over. That is until her older brother's handsome best friend, Daniel, offers to help. She's gotten over her longtime crush. Now, she's just happy for the extra set of hands.

But Daniel's stalker has followed him to Nutfield, and she doesn't take kindly to the pretty girl who's clearly caught his eye. Determined to reclaim Daniel's attention, the stalker sets her sights on the woman who stands in her way.
