    About this series

    Can Christmas be joyful if Santa doesn't deliver?

    There’s something about Christmas that drives even the sanest people crazy.

    Estate sale organizer Audrey Nealon’s long quest to become a mother may finally work out, so she’s looking forward to the holiday this year.

    Until her loyal assistant Ty becomes obsessed with acquiring BlastMaster, the season’s hottest toy. Determined to give his nephew the fantasy Christmas he himself never had, Ty allows his hunt for BlastMaster to lead him into some very dark alleys.

    His quest unleashes a world of trouble. A criminal ring, a defaced painting, and a long-unsolved murder provoke revenge that threatens Audrey’s estate sale business. Eager to keep her young assistant out of harm’s way, Audrey inserts herself into the ad hoc investigation.

    Will Audrey’s insatiable curiosity help to restore justice in time for the holidays? Or will it imperil her efforts to have a child with her beloved husband?

    All will be revealed on Christmas Eve.

      On a snowy Christmas Eve, a beautiful young mother goes out to buy a few last minute gifts...and never returns. Thirty years later, her daughter picks up her trail.  What really happened to Audrey Nealon’s mother? Did she die in a tragic accident? Or did she abandon her husband and young daughter? And why is Audrey’s father so cold and distant? As the successful owner of an estate sale business, Audrey has put the past behind her. Her mother is a distant memory, her father a problem she keeps closed away. Until the day Audrey clears out the home of a lonely old widow and finds some shocks. Street drugs in the silverware drawer, a trunkful of jewels in the attic, and the distinctive ring Audrey’s mother was wearing the night her car supposedly sank to the bottom of a New Jersey lake. Relentlessly, Audrey pursues clues to her family’s troubled history. Because the truth will set her free…unless it gets her killed. Each fact Audrey uncovers drags her further away from the love she craves. Now she’s on a collision course with people more determined, more ambitious, and more dangerous than she can fathom. As the twist ending reveals, some truths are too awful to bear, and too terrible to share.

      What lies buried in a hoarder’s house— precious treasure or ghastly secrets? One moment of misguided generosity throws estate sale organizer Audrey Nealon’s life into turmoil. She loses a client’s money, cripples her budding romance, and witnesses a murder. Strapped for cash, she accepts a questionable project: clearing out the home of a mentally ill hoarder who may have hidden valuable Civil War letters. What really lies at the bottom of twenty years’ worth of collected buttons and antique dolls and stuffed owls and atlases?   As Audrey digs through the hoarder’s obsessions, she unleashes a vengeful response from all sides--the hoarder's angry neighbors, his alienated family, and the police. The house has destroyed lives in the past. Will Audrey and those she loves--her friends, her father, and even her dog--be its next victims? As the final twist reveals, secrets can remain buried, but they never disappear.

Every day Audrey works in the house, she discovers another valuable artwork and another family secret.  How did the adored oldest son die? What’s wrong with the strange younger sister? Who is making off with rare books, antique silver, and vintage ball gowns? Most of all, how reliable are the dying woman’s deathbed ramblings?  As Audrey uncovers more about the Eskew family’s tortured past, she begins to doubt her own perceptions of the elusive people who surround her in the house. Charm turns to deceit, compassion morphs to rage. Whom can she trust? When a murderer strikes, Audrey’s sense of justice compels her to defend the defenseless, no matter the risk to herself.
