A graveyard ghost leads investigators to a corpse hidden in an abbey's wall.

When Sheriff Zachariah Fitch hears about a corpse found inside the wall of Maltby le Marsh Abbey, he wants nothing to do with the investigation since that is where his estranged sister resides as a nun. But with the local constable asking for his help, and Lady Vivienne accepting the case for them, he quickly finds himself not only working on a murder, but having to face his ghosts of the past involving his sister.

Lady Vivienne Harlowe has helped the sheriff on several cases. So when a ghost in the graveyard seems to be summoning her, she takes it as a sign that she and the sheriff must travel to Maltby le Marsh to assist with a new murder investigation. Zachariah is her good friend from childhood, and as both of them have lost their spouses, a growing attraction between them makes her wonder if they can keep their relationship professional as they've always agreed to do.

Rogue Destiny has lost its greatest protector.

And time is running out.

Sleigh bells ring and snow is glistening, but being stuck in a winter wonderland with Scrooge McDunky is anything but happy tonight.

Amber Evans, Ellen Patterson and Samantha Darling are Boston advertising executives and best friends. Sam and cynical business tycoon Nathan Snow, aka McScroogy, got engaged last Christmas Eve. Amber is the maid of honor and cocky retired NBA star Kip Covington, aka Scrooge McDunky, is the best man. A former college volleyball player, Amazon Amber is just as athletic and competitive as Caveman Kip, resulting in the two of them trying to outdo each other in their duties over the past year. Little does she know his cockiness is just a cover so no other woman will hurt him like his ex-wife who only wanted him for what he was, not who he was.
