Mistletoe Malarkey

For more than a year, Shayla and Seamus have built a life together, falling in love, sharing dreams and laughter. Now, they're embarking on a new adventure: spending Christmas with Seamus's family in the enchanting land of Ireland.

Seamus, a down-to-earth park ranger, has always been modest about his background. Living with three roommates and driving a trusty old pickup truck, he never gave Shayla any reason to suspect he was anything but ordinary.

Until they land in Ireland, and Shayla discovers he's practically Irish royalty.

The welcome is warm, but unexpected. The press descends, camera flashes ignite, and Shayla's previously hidden insecurities start to surface. A holiday that was meant to be filled with festive family fun now carries the weight of public scrutiny.

The getting-to-know-you dinner party sets the stage for a complicated holiday. An old flame, a mysterious uncle, and a whole town full of complex characters await Shayla. The table is set with rich Irish fare, traditional music, and sparkling conversation.

But the celebration takes a dark turn when a guest ends up dead.

Local law enforcement are quick to step in, urging Shayla to leave the matter to them. Her policing skills might be respected in the United States, but in Ireland, she's merely a visitor.

Shayla's instincts are sharp, and whether she seeks them or not, clues seem to find her at every turn. Despite warnings from the Gardaí and the tangled web of family dynamics, she can't shake her sense of duty to solve the case.

Set against the picturesque backdrop of a quaint Irish village, adorned with historic charm, this Christmas mystery unfolds with subtlety and suspense. Join Shayla as she navigates family traditions, new relationships, hidden agendas, and a murder that threatens to overshadow the joy of the season.

With a touch of romance, a hint of intrigue, and the authentic warmth of an Irish Christmas, this tale is a perfect fireside read. Embrace the season with this engaging holiday mystery, as Shayla proves that love, loyalty, and the pursuit of truth transcend borders.
