Frost-Bitten — Ruby Loren

Heathley has a murderer in its midst, and it's not long before they make their first strike…

Christmas has come to the gardens and a Christmas makeover team have been hired to turn traditional, fuddy-duddy Heathley, into a modern winter wonderland - fit to draw in the Christmas crowds. Predictably, this doesn't go down well with the gardeners, who are horror stricken when their rare plants are mushed beyond recognition by giant inflatable snowmen and plastic icicles.

Lydia has bigger things to worry about.

She's moving in with a man who loves her, but so far, she's been unable to say those three little words back to him. How do you know when you're in love? Lydia keeps waiting for it to hit her like a chair to the face, or even creep up slowly, but so far… there's been no Christmas miracle and she's beginning to wonder:

When is it time to nip love in the bud?

Then one fateful winter's night, Lydia and Scott are left fighting for their lives. Is dying what it takes to figure out how you really feel about someone?
