Christmas Duty: About-Face/Outranked by Love/Seeking Shade/A Distant Love

by Jill Stengl, Tammy Shuttlesworth, Paige Winship Dooly

Life is never still in the military. Even Christmas is a season of challenge...a season of change. This year, several servicemen and women will face a range of life-altering experiences. Captain Tim Falkirk, a fighter pilot with a fast reputation in the air and on the ground, says he's changed. But Lieutenant Cathy Guillard still fears she can't trust him. What will convince Cathy to stop hiding her secret love for Tim? Hayden Jacobs and Lacey White share the same air force base - but are psychologically worlds apart. Hayden reveres power and status, while Lacey believes in happiness and simplicity. Can these two ever find common ground? When his former fiancee, Shade Matthews, is abducted, Special Ops Agent Nick McLeod has only a few weeks to find and rescue her - and to convince Shade that he still belongs at her side. Will he have enough time? Captain Katrina Falkirk is determined to serve a year of peace-keeping in Israel without personal entanglements. Then Christmas comes and she meets Captail Brian Smith. In running from heartache is Katrina really running away from the love she so desperately desires? In the battle for hope and love, lines have been drawn...who will be left standing? Will the true meaning of Christmas emerge through the din?
