No Peace
NO PEACE is a bonus-read Christmas novella that is not part of the six book Spirit Creek Series. Although it works as a stand alone story, this book is a continuation from No Ties and Blake Connors’ dilemma with the outlaws. And, if you’ve been wondering what the heroes and heroines from the first four books have been up to, an update on several of Spirit Creek’s citizens is woven throughout the tale.
Recently-retired undercover Pinkerton agent, Blake Connors, orchestrated the incarceration of countless bank and train robbers. Now that Blake’s secret life has been revealed, outlaws are gunning for the man they consider a traitor. Christmas is the season for peace on earth, but Blake’s life is anything but peaceful. He fears for the safety of his loved ones, and unless he can find some way to keep his beloved Gertie safe, he questions the wisdom of proposing and subjecting her to a lifetime of danger.
Gertie Winsom intends to marry Blake Connors, if the fellow lives long enough to propose to her. She loves Blake dearly and considers the opportunity to spend the rest of her life with him worth the risk of facing the danger surrounding his life at the moment. But is she being selfish? Should she step away from Blake and give him the freedom to renew his employment with the Pinkerton Agency far from the uncertain future he faces in Spirit Creek?
Should Blake and Gertie simply go their separate ways? Or can they discover a solution to their dilemma, ensuring them a future filled with happiness and, more importantly, peace?
