Can a former marine and an undercover cop crack a deadly Christmas case?
When a cult threatens the high school where he teaches, ex-marine Mitch Everlock is on the case. His priority: protecting his students. His world is rocked when one of his pupils, Nika Pasczenko, reveals she’s an undercover police officer! But can the agent with secrets of his own trust his partner-in-crime?
The last thing Nika expected on this investigation was meeting a sexy veteran who makes her heart light up like a Christmas tree. But with both their lives at risk, and the students in danger, neither of them can afford the slightest distraction. Especially one as big as falling in love just as a killer closes in...
Was this how her luck, her attention to detail, was going to run out?
After the better part of a decade studying and training for this kind of situation, she was going to be outdone by a jammed door?
No. Freaking. Way.
Summoning every ounce of focus and strength she had, Nika moved the car’s collapsed front and side air bags out of her way. Using her left hand, she scrambled for the door handle again, but panic threatened as her fingers pulled at it with no luck.
Lean against the door.
She let gravity use her body weight and finally the door moved a fraction of an inch. Metal against metal. Bracing herself to shove her shoulder against it, she breathed in—and the door was yanked open. She fell out of the car, knowing the ground was going to be hard and cold. Instead she was caught in midair. The icy field below her face was still, her body secure.
“I’ve got you, Nika.”
Mitch.
She’d fallen into Mitch’s arms.

Thank you for taking the time to visit Silver Valley, Pennsylvania. Since the Silver Valley P.D. series has launched, you’ve been overwhelmingly supportive, and it tickles me each time you ask, “When’s the next one coming out?” I can’t thank you enough for your emails, Facebook posts and your attendance at my book signings.
Her Christmas Protector and Wedding Takedown set the stage for Silver Valley’s fight against a disbanded cult that’s determined to regroup in their cherished community. In Her Secret Christmas Agent, the True Believer cult has reached its tentacles into Silver Valley High School. I had to have the strongest hero and heroine possible to face this danger together. I think you’ll enjoy the result.
Again, no writer works alone, and I’m no exception. While many solitary hours are spent at my computer, I rely on the real-life everyday heroes who walk among us to inspire the Silver Valley series. I remain indebted to my local law enforcement and the many other law enforcement agents I’ve interviewed along the way.
Please continue the conversation with me on each story and character. Whether you prefer Facebook, the blog on my website, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest or good old-fashioned email, you can reach me. And please sign up for my newsletter so you won’t miss out on the many contests I run. It’s all on my website, www.gerikrotow.com.
Until the next Silver Valley P.D. story—
Peace,
Geri
